Today I want to share\u00a0Emerald City Quilt Show Entry July 2015.<\/p>\n

I entered my first ever quilt show with the COQG<\/a>. I became a member in 2014 because I’ve fell in love with quilting and my wonderful neighbor invited me to a guild meeting.<\/p>\n

This group of mostly ladies are so eager to share their quilting knowledge. They were also very encouraging to get me to enter into the quilt show!<\/p>\n

Trying to decide on a project was fun and challenge at the same time. The president had posted a challenge to make quilts using 2.5 inch strips. Having just finished a quilt for my mother in law for Christmas I knew that I had plenty of scraps. That is what helped me make the decision on what fabric to use for this quilt project.<\/p>\n

There wasn’t a pattern to follow. For this project I made it up as I went along. Math isn’t my strongest asset, but since I was using 2.5 inch strips this became easy. Starting with a 2.5 inch square I went around that square with different colors of green strips until I had a square. Then I cut three different prints of white into 2.5 inch strips. Sewing three strips together I then cut those into squares that were the same size as the green squares. Playing with the placement of the squares on a design board I made for hours I finally had a design.<\/p>\n

\"Emerald<\/a><\/p>\n

Once I had the blocks sewn together the hard part was trying to decide how will I quilt this thing? Finally I decided that I would go around the green blocks with green thread and make quarter inch quilting straight line quilting. When the green was done I then did the same in the white areas with white thread. The last things to do were to put on a hanging sleeve, binding and a label.<\/p>\n

\"Emerald<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thankful for Rocky at Threads of Tradition for teaching me how to attach my binding, as I feel that is one of my best assets in quilting making.<\/p>\n
