"Trans Rights Orange cat" Still needs binding
With this complete I can truly say I am back in the saddle!
Being a member of the trans community myself it brings me joy to know tags like this can exist around town in all their silly glory.

BEHOLD the Atomic Pizza..!
Next phase is to square it off and make it... however big I want to make it.
It unfortunately doesn't lay completely flat, but thats what I get for doing something that's very much not for beginners as... my first... solo quilt. I'm not sure if there's any minor remedy besides unstitching anything that doesn't line up, but I'm very much open to tips and suggestions.
Otherwise, I'm going to just move forward... carefully. I'm definitely a "learn as you go" sort of person, and there's definitely things that I know now that I wish I'd known when I started lmao.. ah well.
Otherwise, I'd say it's looking pretty good!

Latest finish. All free motion quilted. One yard of gorgeous fabric by Moda in their Gradients Auras line. Satin backing. Four or five colors of thread.
I’m thinking this one would be amazing stretched on a canvas hanging on the wall and can’t decide if I’m going to keep it or sell it.

An Exploration of Large Scale Foundation Paper Piece Quilt Designing
Aka
Cozy Swords So Big
I made this quilt for a sword enthusiast, I’m sure they would clock inaccurate sword proportions right away. It was important to me that the (non magical) swords be as proportionally accurate as possible. I based each blade to hilt ratio directly on historical or famous prop references (can you spot them?) and designed them to be life sized.
A very sweet boy’s tail for scale against an early pattern draft
The most challenging part of constructing this quilt was working on the RIDICULOUSLY long blades. Typically individual pieces of an FPP pattern are small and easily maneuvered. My largest blade pattern pieces were about 45 inches long, a design decision I would never inflict on anybody but myself.
The smallest blade- the only one I took photos of because the rest were way too overwhelming to document. The largest pieces were triple the length of this.
Designing the blades to be contained in a single piece of each pattern maximized precision in the parts of the designs that I really really wanted to be smooth and sleek.
The long blades were very hard to construct, it’s easy to end up with bubbled fabric on FPP pattern pieces so large. Glue stick and spray starch were critical here.
My only totally impossible sword was designed in a more traditional fpp kind of way, broken into many small pattern pieces. There was a lot more room for error in seam matching, so this block took me much longer to complete than any of the others. I redid quite a few seams to get as close as I could to perfect.
Overall I loved how these large scale FPP designs turned out. I think the result was worth the hassle of working with my comically large pattern pieces.
