It's finished. I've finished this year's Free Block Class quilt. This year's theme was all things Japanese. Although I've loved the colors since the beginning, I wasn't really fond of some of the blocks. Due to their really strong geometric shapes, the blocks were hard to put together into a pleasing arrangement. I finally came up with something fun...half the blocks had pale blue borders added, half had white borders with navy cornerstones. Setting them all on point made room for the navy print.
I did run into difficulty while machine quilting. This is the largest quilt that I have free-motion quilted in one piece. Some times, I felt like I was wrestling a bear. I need a LOT more practice with the free-motion technique, too.
Next week we'll be starting 'Dusty Trails' blocks in class, Southwestern themed blocks and colors. Can't wait!
