"Thrive"-a lesson on random curvy piecing

I was asked to make a small quilt, like really small, for someone who saw my quilt display at the hospital.

Her grandson goes to a college named Thrive and the school's colors are yellow and green.

The little quilt above is what she had seen. I didn't really think that one was appropriate for a young man so I began thinking about a design.

I've always wanted to learn a little about curvy piecing, so I watched a you tube video, you can see it here. She is really good, but my brain had a hard time doing it. It took several tries before I mastered it.

And now I have ideas for more curvy piecing!!!

I pulled out lots of fabrics in green and yellow to audition for the quilt!!

It was actually a lot of fun!! I love random designing!!!!

Here is is all pinned and ready to start quilting. I did very simple wavy lines back and forth to mimic the curves of the fabric.

Now to give it to the grandma and what to charge. I really don't like that part of it. I have a very difficult time putting a price on my work. I told her $15-$20. My co-workers are not happy with me on that one!!!

My work area is a little messy. Always gets that way when I'm working.

Getting the binding sewn on among other potential projects.

And done!! Whew!!!

Take Care, Happy Quilting!!!
