One of my current projects was from one of my local quilt shop's,
Webfabrics, for National Quilting Day 2011, called
Pointing the Way
(pattern by Martha Ethridge). I think I got it in March. Now that I
have a design board (and I highly recommend one) I think progress will
be faster. This one was very hard to visualize in pieces laid on a
table. I could only get 1/4 of it visible at a time. Now that I see it
up it is much easier to piece. Yep, more precision required. I am
becoming one with my seam ripper!

I did not pick the fabrics and initially
thought they were far too similar. Seeing it in the photo, though, I
see the variation and I like it. This one is helping me hone my eye to
the subtle differences in shading. I tend to prefer big, bold coloring. I am starting to explore shading and slight changes in hues because I
have some more artsy fartsy ideas that will require this to work.
