The first quilt during the Week of Using What You Have is called "Skirting the Circle" by none other than Beth Copeland who shows us how she connects her family in this quilt by using fabric from a skirt that both she and her mother wore. Beth blogs at smazoochie.blogspot.com and you can also find her work on flickr under the flickr name "smazoochie".
This quilt is what will push me over the edge into quilting as a new hobby. The black ribbon extending across the blocks makes this into true modern art of my favorite flavor, textile.
The ND Capital Quilter's Guild is having their spring quilt show and class day this Saturday, March 10 - and classes are only $5! You never see intro classes that cheap! I will be taking the String-Pieced Folder class Saturday night.
Mmmm... best Saturday night evar...
