The Quilt Show Puzzle: Bouncing Around Curves
|
 |
|
|
"Bounce" by Scott Hansen
Bounce is Scott's newest quilt and
his most recently released pattern. What Scott likes about the quilt, and that he noticed in the small version that hung on his wall, is that it has curves even though it is entirely made of straight lines. While a little bit afraid of curves, Scott had done them before but had never featured them in his patterns. This quilt remedies that in a way that involves not actually making the curves themselves.

The Quilt Show is here to help you get your work to the finish line with great teachers, tips, and techniques to inspire you. So get the bunsen burner out (or maybe an iron) and get quilting today!
