Riley Blake Challenge

Modern quilting can be so freeing and abstract.  I participated in the Riley Blake Challenge this past year.  I was sent fat quarters and I had to use them plus any other Riley Blake fabric I wanted to incorporate.  I used a cut and slash method that I read about in a magazine.  Cutting really nice fabric into slashes can be a bit anxiety provoking but I decided to give into the method.  The result was this abstract piece I titled Regatta.
