Here is the quilt made by Brenda Groelz - doesn't the lime green add a certain pizzazz to the quilt? If you haven't yet taken the plunge on free piecing, this article may be just the encouragement you need, as it includes tips on putting the blocks together, and a sort-of suggested arrangement. And, at the risk of being accused of taking commission from the magazine, there is also a pattern for jelly rolls and a very clever method for making use of signatures in a quilt in the same edition. If you live in the UK and haven't seen it on sale, ask your local newsagent to get you a copy from Comag - all newsagents can do this. Good luck!

they did a great job on that article - I was really happy with how that turned out.
That sure is a fantastic looking pattern.
how awesome....wish i could get my hands on a copy!!! i struggled my first time around with the "free piecing thing" when i took her online class. To confined to my ruler i guess...but i havent given up hope, because i absolutely love the results :)
congrats Tonya...and thanks for posting about it Lynda!!
okay...im a dork...its a US publication, of course i should be able to get my hands on it :)
dont know what i was thinking...but ill go look for it!
I wish I could take credit for this beautiful quilt (glad to hear you appreciate lime green like I do), but I'm just the owner of the quilt, not the maker. It was made by the Quiltmaker staff and other CK Media friends as a going-away present when I left my position as Editor-in-Chief of Quiltmaker. I'm now the Director of Marketing & Education for Handi Quilter, a job I enjoy very much, though I do miss the magazine life and the wonderful staff at Quiltmaker! I think Tonya's free-form, improvisation piecing is a great idea and this quilt looks wonderful hanging on my office wall!
