I am taking a needle turn applique class and the fabrics I have chosen are way out of the box for me. In fact at a class someone said.....that doesn't look like Helen at all. I think it is kind of fun, but I am having a little trouble choosing applique fabrics to go with my focus fabric.

Part of life is taking a chance with new things. Quilt making is no exception.

I have plenty of challenge "in the box". I quilt for enjoyment. Making seams join straight and getting true square corners is plenty of challenge for now.

I guess I am a design as you go person. I recently tried the tube technique for a lap quilt. I did not have a template or triangle to measure by, so I made one. My squares were not quite square. Anyway, here is a photo of the result of my training quilt.[ATTACH=CONFIG]413090[/ATTACH]

I occasionally will use someones pattern, but like to use my own colors. My real love is making my own designs. Sometimes I will combine traditional blocks mixing and matching til it gets interesting.

I love your quilt. I always choose my own colors. Love the idea of buying sale fabrics. I don't have an especially large stash..but like to shop it first. You have a great eye for color!
