Chorale Quilt

The Chorale Quilt is a quilt in its beginning phase. It has grown from my active participation as a Soprano 2 in the Robert Sharon Chorale located in Palm Beach County, Florida.  We just came back from a wonderful concert tour trip in Austria & Slovakia in June.

I had been thinking about doing such a project for a long time, but was not sure how I wanted it to look, that is, until I took a quilt class at the Mancuso World Quilt Show in West Palm Beach, FL in 2010. The class was taught by Robbi Joy Eklow. In her class, fusible webbing is an active part of the quilt pattern construction. I chose one of her patterns that I used, and altered a bit. See the picture of the "Bursting Sunshine" at the top. The circular motion it has, gave me the inspiration to make the CHORALE QUILT in a curved shape. Like music it flows!

Believe me I have a lot more little hands to applique, and many decisions to be made on how to border it. Just waiting for more inspiration while I work away at it. Singing while I sew is great, too!
