Wow, I can't even find the right words to say how much fun taking the quilting class was today :D :D :D My first ever! There were four students, one great teacher and we laughed and enjoyed each other's company as well as our quilting.
AND - I learned how to paper piece :D :D :D I'm SO excited!!
The trouble with this class is that we were surrounded by quilting goodies and due to all the chitchat and encouragement, I ended up walking out with EQ6 and a CD of Triangulations. And they weren't free :roll:
Here's the block I made today. It's pretty raw, but I'm delighted to know that the process made sense and I'm eager to try more patterns.

I love the bright colours!!
What part of BC are you in? I grew up in Victoria...lived in the lower mainland for a few years, Prince Rupert for 10, (all 3 kidlets born there), then back to Van. Island before moving here to Minnesota.

I love that block!! The colors are great and it will look so cool with a few dozen of its friends sewn into a quilt.
And going to quilty places with quilty friends is like going to a bar with a drinker. Never safe for the wallet.

This class was SO fun!
The full pattern - should I ever finish it - is called "Fly by Night" from July/August Quiltmaker magazine. We started with the straight strip pieces and also made the sunburst pieces, but didn't use them in making this block. These were my first curves, too. :)
