I'd sorted some hand dyed fabric that I'd purchased ages ago on Trademe (NZ's version of ebay) and had never used mostly because the fabric was quite flimsy and the colours a little light.
For the initial piecing of the front used gentle curves then the back with straight piecing. Then the back became the front!
For each segment a different quilting pattern was used with varying threads.

One of my favourites is the fill in the slim white piece.
While I could keep this as a sample it is also the right size for a neonate quilt or maybe a large cushion.

Do you keep a notebook with your patterns drawn in it for reference? I do and it's so helpful, then you don't need to keep bulky samples unless you need them to show students or something similar. Love the curved piecing front/back. Very beautiful.
Thank you. Keeping a reference notebook is a very good idea. The small samples have been useful with the different weight threads and various needles - even if they are a little bulky.
