Migrating Geese – a Quickstep Setting
I did another Scrap Dance Quickstep quilt, this time using just nine strips. Sewing long strips is a lot easier than individual squares. These strips are left over from the Moda Bake Shop recipe I did for a Pin Woven Tote (link on sidebar). I sewed sets of three strips. Then I cross cut them …
Bellamy House in Wilmington NC

Scrap Dance Quickstep Garden Maze Quilting
After looking at the pieced Quickstep Garden Maze top for a bit, I considered adding a border of brown or looking for a rock or stone print to mimic a stone wall around the garden. Ultimately, I decided it would look best with borders of the same green. So I added those using the proper …
