Letters

 I was talking to my pal Julie on Friday in one of our marathon monthly telephone calls. We talked about letters and somehow I got the idea to make KEEP IT SIMPLE in free pieced letters.

Why KEEP IT SIMPLE ? Because we have both noticed that my best quilt are quilts that I don't think too much about when I am making them.

So I got the idea of making several KEEP IT SIMPLE panels and put them together in one bigger quilt.

This was my first one.




I wrote a tutorial on "liberated" letters. You can get it here at my Etsy shop. Yes, it's a big tutorial, but I tell you everything you need to know to make all the letters in the alphabet in upper and lower case, as well as all the numbers.

It went something like, "don't make it more complicated than it needs to be" (what I put in my sister's journal). Which lead to "keep it simple" like your "make it work" wall quilt . . . I love your ideas for this version and your colors in this panel are fabulous!

I especially like the “I” in “it”, the way the dot and line both narrow towards the center. Love it when you and Julie talk and out comes a idea for a quilt ;-)
