The Vancouver Modern Quilt Guild is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. We have a new logo<\/a>, and a modern mini challenge<\/a> with the theme TEN using only the new logo colours. Each mini must be 10 inches square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I immediately ordered a fat quarter bundle of the new logo solids, and started designing. There was enough fabric that I could make at least 2 mini quilts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first mini is called ‘Ten Geese A-Flying’. I made 10 improv flying geese blocks and pieced them together to make a 10 inch square. I started the quilting by outlining the geese with a triple-stitch, which looks a bit like hand-stitching with embroidery thread – but it’s much faster! Then, I quilted vertical straight lines with orange thread. I used 1\/4 inch wide painters tape to mark the lines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added more orange quilting in the binding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the next mini, I started with some of the scraps from the first one, and insert skinny lines of contrasting fabric. I started with some of the Nightfall with Wasabi skinny lines, then added more fabrics to my design wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I decided the Nightfall was too dark. When I removed it, I liked the look of the white paper behind it, so I used mostly white instead of the navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I quilted each section separately and finished the edges with facings. When I looked at the completed quilt, I was surprised and delighted to see there were 10 sections – honest, I didn’t even think of that when designing and piecing this. So I called it ‘Improv 10-Patch’. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
