This is the full sampler quilt (UFO) I've been machine quilting - shown here pin basted before I started quilting it.
When I blogged about my quilting progress last week, my daughter Katy, the quintessential journalist asked me what the title of this quilt is. Title? I hadn't even thought about a title, while usually I name my quilts as I'm working on them
I made this quilt years ago to "practice" my hand piecing skills as I intend this quilt to be a class model for beginning quilters some day. Then I decided to "practice" my machine quilting to finish it. Each block is different and would force me to try different free motion designs.
What to name this quilt..... "etude" came to mind. I remembered practicing etudes for my piano lessons.
The actual definition of etude from thefreedictionary.com: A piece composed for the development of a specific point of technique 2. A composition featuring a point of technique but performed because of its artistic merit.
Perfect!
