I had to pick out fabrics and a signature fabric. I used <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sisboom.com\/nggallery\/page-28\/album-2\/gallery-7\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Queen Street by Jennifer Paganelli<\/a> and my signature fabric is a Philip Jacobs. You can see my signature fabric on the bottom of my starting piece.<\/p>\n<p>The signature fabric is a fabric that we add to each piece we work on to know that we worked on it. I just had to use a Philip Jacobs as it is uniquely distinct to me. Many of the other modern quiltmakers don&#8217;t use Philip Jacobs fabrics that I have seen.<\/p>\n<p>Wanting to try for a piece that was not square, I made my piece long and thin. Cutting is difficult for me at the moment, so I gave myself a bit more time on that piece, but then sewed like a demon so as not to break too much of the rules.<\/p>\n<p>I kept looking at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2015\/08\/flying-geese-swap-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Flying Geese<\/a> TFQ and I have been exchanging. I decided to incorporate some of them into this piece, but the rest are just squares and rectangles.
