"FLYING" BY THE SEAT OF MY PANTS

Last year I came across this quilt that Emily had made. I had been piecing feather blocks for a couple of block exchanges so this really caught my eye.  Another block in there is the Arrow block that I thought was very cool. I saved the picture and tucked it away for future reference.

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
