I signed up for the Modern Quilt Guild Riley Blake Sashing Stash Challenge this past winter. The 3/4 yard piece of black and white fabric was given to me in March. I had until the end of May to put a quilt together.
I went with a combination of traditional blocks and some improvised blocks that used up just about all of the fabric I received. I have always wanted to make an Ocean Wave quilt, but all those teeny tiny half square triangles! The Sashing Stash certainly made it easy to put an Ocean Wave block together.
Once I got my blocks and layout figured out I put the top together and then it was on to the final challenge of quilting. I am very comfortable with my pantographs on my longarm machine, but I want to move on to more free motion quilting. This was my most adventurous attempt so far. I definitely need more practice, especially with those little circles, but it was fun and I am excited to do more on the other side of my quilt frame!
