I've got several posts planned to capture all the magic that was QuiltCon. You can read about My Quilts in a prior post. There are 2 or 3 more posts to come.
Each year I enjoy taking a half-day workshop. I typically choose the topic based on the instructor - I want someone that I admire and have not had the chance to take a class with. This year, I took Kitty's @nightquilter course Improv Piece Your Life. Kitty is a friend and was a contributor to my Patent Pending quilt which was on display QuiltCon 2023.

We made several different kinds of improv blocks. The most exiting was small inset circles - I'm holding it in the picture above with Kitty. Patience and glue were the key ingredients for success.
We modeled the blocks after Kitty's amazing quilt that tracked her life in summer 2023. The quilt top is not yet complete but it looks amazing.
If you ever have the chance to take a workshop with Kitty, I highly recommend!
How great to take a workshop with Kitty! Making those tiny inset circles is challenging, no doubt. Are you planning to make a 100-days quilt? Kitty's is definitely gorgeous, and will be stunning hanging at a future QuiltCon. Seeing hers reminds me that I need to to figure out how to put together my 100-days of blocks. I quickly learned that making 100 blocks is EASY! Figuring out how to arrange them is difficult!
