Who knew a challenge could be so, *ahem*, challenging?
I’m so happy I entered though. I think it is completely true that you won’t grow unless you step outside of your comfort zone. I am officially outside!
- This is my 8th quilt
- My first contest entry
- My first drawn and completed design
- First time using a walking foot
- First time straight line quilting (this was the most challenging part! man, that’s hard work!)
- First solid colored quilt
I’m sure my husband is wondering if I can now go back to being a little less neurotic. This is an outtake from my submission photo shoot. I think I had taken about eleventy-eight photos and he was ready to punch me. “Just one more”, I shouted!
Don’t tell him that I have 3 other quilts in the works already. Our secret, k?
xo, Lindsey

I love the finished product. Great job!
P.S. that last photo is adorable. 😉
It is beautiful!! I love it. Great job Lindsey!
Looks great! I didn’t enter this challenge but entered the last one, and it was such a good experience to get outside my comfort zone and push myself. Even if you don’t win, you’ve made a great quilt and learned a lot in the process. Give yourself a pat on the back! 🙂
Thank you guys!
Amazing job – it is absolutely beautiful! Like you, I entered too – and it was a huge challenge (I’ve been quilting less than 2 years and wanted to try this!). I love seeing what people came up with. Good luck in the judging!!! You did great! Here is mine.

I spotted this over on flickr and had to follow the link. I love the lines and the colors! So pretty and fresh!
WOW! Do you think you’ll have a tutorial {pretty please} so I can step out of my comfort zone and make one?! It’s so beautiful! 🙂
I could do that! 🙂
Holy cow, that is amazing! Love, love, love it! So glad I popped over here. Will be following =)
Thank you so much!
Hi Lindsey,
I just came across this quilt on Pinterest and I love it! Can you talk a little bit about how you designed this quilt? It looks like you started with strip piecing and then cut in to pie shaped wedges? Can you share? I would love to make something like this.
Hey Shannon!
Thank you! Yes, it is paper pieced in wedges and then all sewn together. I actually have several pictures in progress on my old hard drive. I’m preparing to go out of town, but would be happy to share more in depth how I made it when I return. Would that be okay?
