It means I have tried numerous techniques to achieve the same thing and have a good idea for what works for me. I don't always use the Eleanor Burn's method. It is fabulous for quick and easy, but falls short when precision and perfection is required. Of course the more you do it the more precise you get. Enjoy the adventure. Remember you opted to do this for fun. You are not trying to create the Sistine Chapel of quilts.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-2682223029751443702013-07-13T13:28:06.975-07:002013-07-13T13:28:06.975-07:00I was asked to contribute a 30" sq. piece to ...I was asked to contribute a 30" sq. piece to a collection of work traveling to Gaborone, Botswana. I realized how little I knew about Botswana and the local art. What would we do without Google? I did some research and turned up the stunning basket weaving typical of the area. I didn't copy the patterns precisely - just went for a feel and palette.

I'm not doing a second version of express your love, but I will try to use her ideas for my next project, a quilted lego play mat for my son. I already designed it but I really don't know how to put it togheter. piecing can be intimidating.serialscrapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12625860692779468925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-38158618827062343272013-07-12T10:59:29.667-07:002013-07-12T10:59:29.667-07:00I love ethnic art and so Botswana Bounty is my fav...I love ethnic art and so Botswana Bounty is my favorite of your quilts so far.
