On the Home Stretch...

I'm on the home stretch with this one, with only one more row of blocks to join. 

 We had record cold temperatures last night...a really good reason to stay home and maybe even finish it off tomorrow. 
My plan is to put together a tutorial, on making these wonky curved blocks...they are much easier than one might imagine. Soon I hope, since the office work I was procrastinating on is still waiting for me. 

 I have this crazy habit of carrying my unfinished quilts all over the house.....you know, to see how they look in different lighting etc.

    These are so warming to my heart. I too have been making art pieces in segments for years. I began with t-shirt quilts in segments, then most recently I'm using this technique in the Smithers 2013 Centennial Quilt. Check out my blog at http://www.goodearthquilting.blogspot.ca

    There is a wonderful world of segment quilting going on, its so exciting! Your work of art is inspiring!!

    I LOVE, LOVE, Love this quilt!!!! It's at the top of my fav's that you've done so far. I'm SO looking forward to a tutorial!!

    Since I started using your QAYG method a year ago or so, I don't ever want to go back to quilting any other way. I'm basically lazy and for me this is so much quicker. At least I'm finishing quilts now where in the past when I was just doing traditional quilting (which I hate!), I'd get bored with it because it was taking me so long to reach the finish line. Not to mention...it's a lot easier to quilt blocks then it is to wrestle a large quilt (at least it is for me). Thanks so much for all your wonderful inspiration and great tutorials! Keep'em comin' :)
