By now anyone dropping in to the Blog will have realised that I am a 'Scrappy' quilter, but I have read so much about Gwen Marston's techniques recently I got to thinking that anyone who could make me stop worrying about my points (not always good !!) was worth taking a closer look at ! Trying to find a reasonably priced copy of Gwen's 'Liberated Quilting' is like trying to find stardust as many of you know.However, I did put my name down on
Tonya's virtual petition to AQS to try and get the book reprinted (the news at the moment is that there is a very slight definite maybe for a go ahead!!). So I bought this whilst in the UK , to get me going at least
Looking for something easy to start, I found this
and over the weekend made this
Not exactly the same quilt as in the illustration, I decided to make it square so that it can be used as a table topper, and of course, not quite the same standard of quilting :-) It is finished though and I am quite pleased with my first 'liberated' attempt!! What I've really got my eye on next is this, as I think this is one Wedding Ring pattern I might achieve !!

Cute quilt, it turned out great. I really like that square wedding ring quilt too - very lively. You certainly live in a beautiful area, fun to "meet" you.
Fantastic Ann! Love your liberation!
I love the photos in this book. I wish photos Nancy Ray's quilts were online so I could gaze and gaze and gaze.
Lovely little quilt.
Hope you are feeling better.
