The other day, I decided to try piecing an Arrow block by just winging it. This was my inspiration fabric. My favourite combination of colour all on one piece : )
My first attempt ended up in the garbage!
After that I sort of got the hang of it.
tail feathers, and the arrow
and the arrow head
The next one went much faster
.......and then there were three : )
I really really like them. They turned out not too bad considering I did a sort of improv style.
Also, I took lots of pictures of the piecing so I'm thinking of writing up a tutorial?
Have a great week

They are gorgeous and I love the quilt Emily made too!
straight to my heart xo
Which fabric are those text ones you've used here, please?
The arrows look great by the way :-)
That is fabulous!
So clever! They are amazing.
Really nice. Makes me think of my son and Boy Scouts back in the day.
You already know that I'd love a tutorial! I have the perfect project for these- they are wonderful!
I love your arrows, Carla, and I think a tutorial would be fabulous!
I have been planning a feather and arrow quilt for a couple of months. That fabric is my favorite colors too and I would LOVE a tute!!!
Stitching by the seat of your pants certainly agrees with you, Carla!! Love these 'arrows'!! Colours and fabrics are perfect!! You go girl!!
Wow - very, very cool! Your "winging it" sure is impressive. The colours and graphics are fabulous.
Way to go Carla - they turned out great! I like the use of the low volume neutral fabrics behind the bright arrow colors.
Very nice, and good for you figuring it out yourself!
Very nice Carla, love the fabrics, and you are amazing at winging it...bravo
Beautiful!
Love these. Unusual but very effective. Doesn't look like you've winged it at all, x
Fantastic arrows Carla!
So fun! Yes to the tute!!
cool! yes do a tutorial.
What cute arrows. Good job, just winging it.
Those are fabulous! I'm pretty sure my first arrow ended up in the garbage as well, that's why there's only one in the final quilt LOL!
Yes, tutorial please! I really love your inspiration quilt.
great blocks! fun to make eh!
that feather fabric is beautiful, and I love your arrows!
Love these! I made some arrows recently, but never came up with a good method so I abandoned it. Maybe I'll try again.
I ive the fabrics you used. Could you please share the main ones in which you used? Thank you! Beautiful quilt.
