Last November, I dragged Heather and John to the Intermountain
Foundation Quilt Show. There were so many lovely hand-quilted coverlets. One of
them was made by the Corner Canyon Quilt Guild: thirty-six grey pine trees with
half a dozen red ones thrown in. I’d pieced several of the trees using fabric
from my own stash. It was fun to point them out in the finished quilt. This
year’s guild quilt is a blue-and-white delectable mountain design. The fabric
was precut and made into block kits. I did piece a couple of them, but I doubt
I’ll recognize my own blocks. Next year, we’ll be making an applique quilt with
two dozen different monsters. I’ve never been confident about my applique
skills, and I’m never very pleased with the results. But tried to do my best,
and this is what I’ll submit. Unless, of course, I decide to try again with
foundation paper piecing.
