Welcome to D T Quilts!

This blog will chronicle my quilting experiences. I have been sewing since my grandmother taught me to as a child. I loved it even then. I began quilting in 2004 to make a quilt of my daughter's school uniforms. Check out the Lauren's Sacred Heart Quilt page. I fell in love with quilting and have not stopped since. I belong to several great quilt guilds. Happy Quilting!

Wild Women Don't Get the Blues

Back in January 2012 I took a workshop with Karen Stone for a quilt titled "Wild Women Don't Get the Blues!"  This is Karen's quilt:
Each block has 4 pieces that are paper-pieced.  Yes, I love paper piecing.  I just love getting those perfect points without struggling.  While Karen's quilt features a lot of autumn colors, I prefer brights.  I am focusing on black and pink as my main colors.  Here is one of the blocks I am working on:
My quilt will be larger than Karen's- throw size or so- 70 X 80.  I will need 56 blocks.  That comes to 224 of these paper-pieced units.  I think I will be working on this for the next few weeks!

    Wow, love your blocks. I just attended a quilt show which featured Freddy Moran as a guest artist and she would feel right at home in your sewing room.

    Where can I purchase the pattern. I don't have EQ. Is there a paper version.

    Love this pattern and your quilt that you made. The pattern would be great since Karen K. Stone quilt books are unfortunately out of my budget.

    I too took Karen's class at the Daytona Quilt Show i February of this year. I've made a few blocks as well but I don't see an end in a few weeks or years actually. Good Luck with yours!
