I just recently completed Jen Kingwell's Gypsy Wife and I loved everything about it! I have her pattern book, which is quite vague. I made all new blocks only using fabrics that I have in my stash. I had so much fun auditioning the fabrics and putting colors and patterns together that I wouldn't normally combine. When I was finished with the top and was trying to decide how to quilt it, I decided to use unbleached muslin for the backing because the front was so full of color and patterns. Although I had never hand quilted, I decided that was the only way to bring out the individuality of each block . . . and then I came up with the brilliant idea to use invisible thread for all of the quilting. I could not be happier with the finished product! When I figure out how to attach pictures, I will send!
