This abstract quilt reminds us of a Picasso portrait! The asymmetric face evolved from leftover, improvisationally-pieced blocks. Heidi Massingill says, "I call them orphan blocks, but don't like them to be orphaned for too long. It was a fun personal challenge to create something from such a simple start."

Alone No More by Heidi Massingill (Avon, Ohio) @sewbot
Alone No More was improvisationally pieced, machine appliqued, and machine quilted on a frame (longarm) and without a frame (domestic). Heidi says that this fun portrait "evolved several times, staring at me in my studio wanting to be complete, until I added the final swirl in her pink hair."
