\nThe Modern Quilt Guild Riley Blake challenge has 4 rules:
\n– Make something fantastic that is quilted
\n– Make something you have never done before
\n– Challenge yourself to learn something new
\n– Use only the Cottage Garden fabric line and Riley Blake solids

\nI decided to play with improvisational curved piecing as my something new and never done before. The improvisational aspect meant I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t panic when the blocks didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t quite line up right as I was mostly focusing on executing curved piecing to get blocks that lay flat.

\nThe text print as the background was a bit of a challenging as I wanted to tuck it into my stash for later, but using it as the background helped give some subtle texture to this quilt. The quilting is vertical lines about 1\/2 inch apart using 3 shades of gray thread (I ran out as I was quilting).

\nThe back includes the extra curve pieced blocks and is just as pretty as the front. The quilt is 48\u00e2\u20ac\u009d x 48\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
