Thank you! You should join us. Seriously. You've got such great skills. I was just getting ready to tell you that I would but I need instructions and then lo and behold gypsy girl is offering them! Yay!!! I, like you, can't even begin to think about starting on this until January. |

My order arrived today and I think I'm all set. But of course this also depends on how things are when it begins going together. I got the center of the quilt sketched out on graph paper. So at least I have a jumping off point. I also bought some colored pencils so I can begin to fill in the sections and look at the color distribution. I'm a big nerd, I know. This is the part of the brain that handles math. 😂  |

If you like doing a sketch when planning quilts, check out the patterns by Kitchen Table Quilting. All of her patterns include a coloring page to print out so you can work out your ideas beforehand. I've made her Tessa quilt a couple of times and she has good instructions/illustrations. Her Judy quilt is in my queue as well. |

I literally make one or two fabric decisions at a time when doing an improv quilt but can see how the coloring page could be a great tool! |

flanz sent me a pic of her quilt so far. I'm sharing it here. Thank you, Becki! As you can see I don't trim my blocks as I go but I will do that before adding the next log, which goes on the right side. I will measure the top bottom and middle of the square (almost square) center of the quilt to see if it is actually square. Fingers crossed. If it isn't, I will need to try to make adjustments when sewing on the next logs. (I'll have to google how to do it.) |

I really love that center fabric flanz. It was perfect for a project like this and lends itself to a nice color scheme. I have the week off and tons of crafty plans. I'm going to be getting out my supplies this week and hope to get started. |

Hey friend. I wonder if you might have a few minutes to share what you learned from Jen Kingwell's husband at the festival. No worries if you don't! xo |

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your quilt in progress, Becki!!!
What a gorgeous start. I love your focal point and love that it's a special memento from a special experience, and I love the fabrics you've chosen to complement it.

The t-shirt itself the guitar was centered so that's how I cut it. I guess it's too late now to make any changes but something about it just doesn't sit right with me. |

I love the center just the way it is! Honestly.
Truly, don't over analyze. I predict you will love your quilt.
I love your color sense and the fabrics you've chosen for this central portion of your quilt, as well as how you've placed different fabrics.
It's 3:50. We have a party next door at 5 and I am about to hop in the shower. We'll be home and in our pjs by 9, I'm guessing.
Happy New Year to all who are reading this!

I love everything about this! I hope you do it next year because I need to figure out the next steps with my projects.
Quilts For Kids is a great cause and they send me a reminder that I owe them 2 quilts. My fault 100% so January is sewing month - the two I owe to Q4K, two extra for their cause and a rag quilt for a friend.
Craftfy things are my therapy but I need to catch up on all the things I’ve dropped. But 2026 - goals. 😎

Loving the progress shown and will enjoy seeing the quilts grow.
As fun as this looks I'm going to have to sit this one out. I already have some projects lined up that are calling to me, I really need to knuckle down to them. Happy quilting everyone.

jeremysgirl - I love how your center block came out. Don't touch the guitar - it's perfect as is. I still haven't pulled my fabrics so will be working on that this week. Pretty sure I will be bringing up the rear on this project but I will get it done!

**GypsyGirl** don't rush yourself and I'm doubtful you will be bringing up the rear. I'm liking this project so much that it's a darn good possibility I may do another when finished. I really love the randomness of it. And hey? Yesterday I learned flying geese to make those diamond blocks. I was thrilled with myself.

I love this project. The randomness of the shapes speaks to me. I have never done any kind of quilting (and not about to start), but I will be cheering you all on from the sidelines! I look forward to seeing how each of you interpret and move through the project. Thank you for sharing!  |

The three of you are such artists w/your quilts. Sadly, I can't do quilting, because I cannot sew. At the beginning of the pandemic I donated my sewing machine to a group that was making masks. I've had lessons, my mother was quite the seamstress, but I just could never catch on. So, I applaud you and can't wait to see the finished product.

I made through part two. I wanted to show a close up of my flying geese. I wanted you to see that I used a star fabric for half and music note fabric for the other half. Plus I'm just really proud I did that well with them.   |

Is that star fabric from Ruby Star Society? I’ve done a couple of quilts with it and I love it more each and every time.
Your flying geese look fantastic. Great points!

I have no idea about the fabric. Honestly I bought so many different fabrics from so many different lines I couldn't tell you who it came from. But honestly it was one of my very favorite fabrics too. I can imagine so many quilts using it. You'll have to show me what you've done with it. |

This is the complete collection, but it’s been so popular I believe they’ve printed and sold it at least a couple of times. I don’t have any photos of the finished quilts, as I finished piecing but haven’t had them quilted yet. 😂  |

That does look very much like the fabric. And now that I see the whole line I think I should get some other colors. It's so pretty and very versatile fabric too. When you are done with your quilts Gennifer I'd love to see them. |
