Our last topic for the Waverley Art Quilters this year was Intersecting Lines. It's hard to be motivated when you're locked down and cannot meet so I decided to use one of my new Tim Holtz fabrics as a background. I've been using solids for a while now and it was fun to use a patterned fabric.

| Intersecting Lines |
I chose 3 plain fabrics that coordinated with the background and cut and pieced until I was happy. It probably looks easy but some of it was difficult and I even had to unpick and re-sew a couple of seams.
I decided to add a border for a change because I think it sometimes acts as a frame for a contemporary quilt.
The small quilt measures 12inches wide and 16inches high. I also tried to resist going into too much detail with the quilting and quilted with mainly straight lines.
Next month is our last meeting for the year and at the moment the plan is for us to be out of lockdown!!
We cannot get to the One Step Further exhibition at the moment and so they have put it online.
Please click this link, if you are interested. I hope it works.
Bye for now,
Linda

Thanks Robbie, I was pleased with it, maybe I'll try using more prints, the plain fabrics seem to set them off! The print fabric gives depth
I love what you've doe Linda, maybe i should do smaller quilts??
Thanks Jude, smaller is definitely the way to go for experimenting
Another great experiment that turned out wonderfully! Thank you for the link to the amazing quilt show - what a delight it was to see. I'm linking to it in my next blog post so my readers can visit too. Well done by everyone!!
That's great, Magpie Mumblings, I am glad that you enjoyed the show. I am looking forward to being out of lockdown soon, so I can see it in person.
