This quilt started after my return home from QuiltCon 2020. I left Austin feeling inspired by the classes I had taken and wanted to make a quilt to document that. This is still unfinished and sitting as a top waiting to be quilted! The background intersecting angles are based on a pattern created by the street lights on my ceiling.
I took four classes – Straight Line Quilting with Carson Converse, Quilt Design Study Hall (Adobe Illustrator) with Daisy Aschehoug, Making Color Work with Heather Black, and Precision Strips Quick Start with Steph Skardal. For QuiltCon in Austin I was overscheduled and I will not make that mistake in Phoenix. I have limited myself to one class in 2022!
This quilt was designed in Adobe Illustrator, used strip piecing of the same five colors in black (shade), two greys (tone), and white (tint), and it will be quilted with dense straight line quilting. The original design shows some color strips that I wanted to incorporate through the quilting, but as I’ve been exploring different thread weights the quilting plan is likely to change. But it will still be dense, because the more quilting the better!
