"A simultaneous explosion of color & geometric shapes" is how Art Gallery Fabrics describe their collection AvantGarde by Katarina Roccella. Boy are they right! 20 artistic patterns and the Accuquilt large Drunkard's Path was the best way to showcase all the different geometric designs.
I put into piles 8 pieces that looked good together (4 'pie' shapes and 4 "L" shapes) to make one big 'circle' block'. A structured look was better for this quilt since there is a lot going on ... graphic angles, color, flowers, arrows, strips, dots ... it's all here.
Eack block is supposed to be 7.5" but since there are curves I always trim down to 7" in case of wonky sewing.
This Art Gallery Fabrics is beautiful and thin and a #10 needle worked nicely. A small border all around brings this quilt to 59" x 73" - perfect for a minky/batting blanket.
Straight line stitching with a really pretty 50wt. mint thread by Aurifil on both the top & bottom... yes, even on the black back ... it's an AvantGarde quilt after all.
Lastly, if your fabric has an image that is too good to lose, cut it the same size as a pieced block and squeeze it in.
