Knit One Quilt Too Kristin here. I decided to finish these blocks while at my class with Gwen Marston. I will let you know when I get that blog post up! However, I didn't know what setting to use. The one above was the first one I tried- it would be big and would need those setting triangles.
The second one I tried was the one above. I kind of like the asymmetrical setting now as I look at it, but at the time I thought I'd need to make 4 more blocks and I didn't want to do that.
So, this is what I ended up with (like #94). I love it! The gals in the class liked it so when it came time for show & tell I told everyone about the challenge. Tonya's info got bandied about and everyone's excited to see her book come out. I showed several of my word quilts. I still hadn't come up with a word, but one of my classmates suggested ZigZag and that's what I'm going to use! I would love to do a red & black border similar to the original, but I have no more of this black. I'm still trying to figure out which brand it is. I think it might be the Moda solid black. Anyway, that's where I am!

Did you get any hints from Gwen?
Or inspirations? tell all!!!
Happy sewing
Yes, maybe I'll not worry about the black, but it is a nice one that I would love to use again. Lots of inspiration from Gwen. She's so warm, friendly and encouraging. Take any class with her if you get a chance. My post about her solids class will be up tomorrow I hope, I'll link to it here. Right now I've got posts about the Gwen & Freddy retreat if you care to check it out. Click here: www.knitonequilttoo.typepad.com.
Wonderful quilt! I love it!
Love the "pieced stripes" in your blocks - very liberated!
Liberated means never having to match a fabric. I love your zig zags.
I love love love the colours! What did Gwen think?
