I am so pleased that, despite the rush of end of the semester projects, I was able to finish the quilt I was making for my nearly life-long friend Joan. Joan taught math for a long time, and likes things neat and orderly. That is not my normal quilting design style, so when I saw the pattern for Gundrun Erla's "Kira" quilt, I knew I had to get it.

Pecking order quilt by MSQ

This is Angèle`s Kira Quilt and the pattern is by GE Designs. She used beautiful purples, teals and blues along with a great ombre print fabric.

Angèle asked for a large curvy panto and she picked a few out from my collection and then left the choice up to me on which one to use. I picked Bayside as it has great movement and was the right scale of design for the piecing.

I took some time on Sunday to finally play with a free tutorial over at Joyfulquilting's blog. It took 2 10 inch squares to make the blocks. I cut 4 and this is what happened! Light and dark blue. Hmmmm what if I made some more? I had played with the blocks in the corners... but I didn't like how they looked. I had to piece the light blue to make the block big enough. I had it laid out after sewing it together. Someone came in to the sewing area and asked - Did you make that today? Yes, was…
