Landscape Quilt Class

I took a "Picture Piecing" Workshop on Saturday through our local quilt guild!

The two teachers, Maggie Ward and Rosanne Williamson, were wonderful!

Their method uses freezer paper… the same method taught by Ruth McDowell.

These are the samples of the quilt they taught us to make.

The Dog TV channel has a  free preview weekend going on now.  I put it on for Yogi this morning when I left to go to the grocery store… he’s tired of the Olympics!!  LOL!!

  1. I like your fabric choices - very pretty. Landscape quilts always amaze me! Freezer paper is what I use often for applique patterns, but I never considered it for something like this.

  4. Looks like a fun workshop. I really like the second one with the inner patchwork pieces. I agree with the others on your fabrics.

  5. Your fabric choices are perfect! I was just wondering where you found that great grass fabric for the bottom. It fits right in!

  7. What a great class that must have been, but, as far as fabric choices go, I like yours the best of the samples shown for the class. I feel that the flowers in the second sample were too large and threw it off balance. Just my opinion though. Thanks for sharing.

  8. I love your fabric choices...what would you want to change about them? I've never used freezer paper for anything quilting, so I need to investigate this!! I love landscape quilts and wish I could have taken this class with you!

  12. I think your picture quilt looks great. There is nothing wrong with your fabric choices! Frankly, Yogi, I'm sick and bored of the Olympics too. Australia does not participate in a lot of the events. We don't need it on two channels 24 hours a day!
