A Quilt
As I mentioned in my last post I put this quilt top together in 2010. I thought you might like to see how I put it together.
I began with some strips...
...and turned them into blocks.
I then "floated" the blocks in some free form, randomly pieced borders.
At the time (that would be back in 2010) I painted a backing fabric, and put together the quilt sandwich. I even used up the scraps and pieced together the binding.
I don't know exactly why things stalled at that point. It may have been because other thing took priority. It may have been because I wasn't sure how to quilt it, or it may have been because I didn't relish the thought of wrangling it through my other machine.
Whatever the reason I am doing it now and here is another block :D
I love your quilt and the colors, that is gorgeous.

I love the final product but I have to say that the first photo of the squares set like a Rail Fence pattern really made me stop and stare. Just something about the painted lines aligned with the linear strips. (pattern irony?)
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Marjorie and in my long list of to do idea I want to explore this but at the time the sugary sweetness of the colours needed to be toned down in my eyes. For some reason back then I painted a lot of those sorts of colours but didn't really like them :D
DeleteIt looks so pretty in the breeze with the light shining through it. You'll be happy when it's done!
