Improv Quit Top
Last weekend I attended a quilt workshop "No Maths Sampler" with Phil Thomas from WAQA, The idea was to make many different quilt blocks and put them together in a random way; no planning. I still didn't manage to cut or sew straight!
This is a big quilt top, the biggest I have made at about 90cm by 130cm. Now all I have to do is put the wadding and backing on, quilt it and finish the edges....I might be some time!

100 Days Project - 62/100
I've been using the book "Mixed Media Portraits" to help me draw some faces.
This book is really helpful and has some great diagrams to help get the proportions right.
