Favorites from #30DaysofQuiltDesign
The 30 Days of Quilt Design challenge continues into September and throughout the entire month of October! Yesterday I shared design #15. That's halfway there! Even if you haven't started yet, there's plenty of time to join and finish well before the deadline. Get all the details here.
This one is probably my favorite from my own designs over the past two weeks. It would be fun to feature a whole collection with this design, grouping some fabrics and mixing up others. I'm not sure if I would opt to paper piece it, to keep things super sharp, or piece it as precisely as possible via traditional means. Maybe a mixture of both, using paper piecing for the smaller ones?
