Marija and I got together and shared our squares, with another friend sharing her latest quilt. Marija has made some beautiful traditional squares. I wish I had taken a bunch of pictures and posted them.
She is very astute and pointed out to me that I love to make art quilts and many of my squares are little art quilts. I realized then that my goal of learning to become a better than beginner piecer wasn't the right goal. I'm really enjoying doing the raw edge applique and working with the stripes (well this isn't art quilts). I want to thank everyone for being so supportive in my off beat ideas about what a square should look like.
