Quilt Piecing

Quilting can be difficult and tedious.  My trouble is that I can never get the corners of the squares to line up.  It frustrates me that they never windup right, there is always a gap.  But i'm not going to take as a huge issue, piecing in quilting is an art that I just apprently need a lot of more work on.  I'm taking a "quilting class" at Mass Art here in the lovely city of Boston but I'm looking forward to learning some of the wonderful new techniques that  contemporary quilt artists are doing.  Embellishing the surface sounds like it will be a lot of fun.  It you want to all check out Quilting Arts Magazine,  Please do.  It's a great Magazine for all contemporary style quilts.  Surface Design is something i'm highly interested and hoping that I can incorporate into to my dolls and make them more contemporary fine art, rather than just home decor or toys.  

As you can see above you can also see that I had an issue with the iron.  I really hate those things.  I can never get them to work right, i always end up breaking them (as I do a lot of electronic appliances) and they are hard to store away in this little tiny space I have.

Below are some quilts that I have already made earlier for friends.  These were before I really new how to piece a quilt together.  I was just playing with shapes and tried to go a little contemporary on one.  I actually made a total of three but I just somehow forgot to take a picture of the last one.  I've learned a bit from this class that I've taken but I've also watched some of the video's on Quilter's TV.
