Just Go With The Flow

  It's Blogger's Quilt Festival!  I did a mad dash to get this bound and finished up for today.

Just Go With The Flow

My adventure with this bargello style quilt began with the need for a gift for a wedding.  I was so pleased with the result that I wanted a similar one just for me. 

  Along the way, I posted about my design process and  how I planned it all out.  I based it on the Quick Quarter Trip found in the book, Quick Trip Quilts by Eleanor Burns.   The technique is easy and the sewing goes fast.  My favorite part of this technique is the no cross seams to match. 

  I finished it off with a "leftover " pieced border to use up the remaining 4 inch strips pieces from the top.

  This bargello style quilt finished up at 68" by 53". 

And the name----Just Go With the Flow.  This is admission time....it is named for the goof, the mistake made in sewing the rows together.

 In this post  I revealed that I sewed the first two rows together in reverse and how I revised by plan to keep from un-sewing. 

 

As I was quilting it, I was trying to come up with a name.  I was zipping along quilting swirls in an all over pattern, and realized I was going with the flow.   Light bulb moment.....design change from a mistake, and relaxing from a stressful week by FMQ equals just go with the flow.
