Tucson Modern Quilt Guild

No Rules Quilting!

We had our elections – most positions remained the same this time – and discussed plans for the coming year. We also brought our mini quilts that we received from the swap with the Chattanooga guild. It was a lot of fun, and we will have to plan another!

We had a productive sew day, and pieced together the blocks and prepped the back for one of our Las Vegas charity quilts.

We also pieced the top for another Las Vegas charity quilt. The hope is that these will be given to the victims or family of the recent shooting.

Susan W shared some of her first attempts with ruler quilting. It seems like rulers can make complex quilting designs relatively easy. I want to try it now!
