Quilt Along #38 – Lost Data

Now let’s get going on a new design for this week.  This month we’ve studied Edge to Edge designs and many variations on the same Flowing Lines theme. Here’s a quick review of each design:

It’s been wonderfully fun to focus on this group of designs, but this is the last week of October so it’s time to finish up with one last variation, this time combining Jagged Lines with Zippling to form Lost Data:

Funny story about the video below – I asked Josh to edit a list of videos the other day. He worked on them for a few hours and said “I got them all done except the one with lost data.”  Oops! I do believe that’s the first time a design name has gotten me in trouble!

Difficulty Level – Intermediate.

Design Family – Edge to Edge.

Now this is the last week of October, the last day actually, so I hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween. Next month we’re going to focus not on a family of designs, but on ways to break up and knock out quilts quickly.

At the end of this particular video, the Batik Beauty quilt was less than 1/2 filled and I was feeling eager to knock it out quickly. After quilting out all of November’s designs, the quilt only had a few small places to fill, so the designs we’ll learn in the coming weeks will hopefully fill spaces very fast, very simply, but still with amazing texture and design.

Let’s go quilt!
