Featured Quilt - "Fireworks" for the Fourth of July
Fireworks is a quilt that Cindy Grisdela made that allowed her to explore free-hand curves, blasts of color, and features lots of dense free-motion quilting. She says, "Fireworks is a celebration of color and line, enhanced by dense stitching in a variety of motifs. The arcs and colors reminded me of sky lit up on the Fourth of July. All of my stitching is done freehand on the sewing machine, without a computer or other marking." Plus, all the thread colors match the fabric that they are quilted into.
Love these fantastic fireworks? Put the exploded pieces back together when you make a puzzle of Cindy's quilt! Just click the button below to get started.
Learn from Cindy right here at The Quilt Show by watching her in How to Do an Improv Puzzle Quilt and Improv Curved Piecing with Cindy Grisdela. |
