Debbie Maddy lectured at our guild last Tues. She gives a large and impressive trunk show. She taught a workshop on Saturday making her Labyrinth pattern

Her instructions are very clear and she gives a lot of great tips and hints while she is teaching. It went together quickly....well except I had cut some of my pieces incorrectly, so I had to resize everything. My quilt will be a little smaller than everyone else's. I used a ruler I seldom use and didn't realize one side was 1/2 inch and the other was was 1 inch.
I don't need to start new projects. But a friend was taking the class - her quilt is very striking. I will try and get a picture for a future blog.
I used stash fabrics for the class. They are nice fabrics, but rather plain mostly reading as solids. I decided I needed to punch it up with the border fabric, so after class I went to a couple stores and picked up some fabric.
It would have been better if I shopped my stash and then got fabrics to go with them before the class. I would have used the pumpkin fabric in the body of the quilt.
and the border fabrics
