One of my personal themes for 2021 was “do it or drop it”, so I was particularly mindful of Works in Progress.  At the same time, I had the chance to start a lot of new things, and learn a lot of new techniques from teachers I have never had access to before (yes, a COVID silver-ish lining).

Several months a go I took a class in curved piecing from Carolina Oneto, and left with a pieced square that was my first experience with this modern adaptation of English Paper Piecing.  At the same time, it was a chance to experiment with transparency – something I’ve done a lot with paint, not so much with fabric.

After the class I got a little ambitious and finished another 11 squares (rectangles, actually), then puzzled a little over what to do with them.  Finally, just before the end of the year, the setting strategy fell into place.  I ran out of time and batting to get the quilting and binding done before the end of the year, but the batting is arriving this week, so hopefully the momentum will carry me forward.
