Sometimes you just need to play. Start with something, anything, and see what happens.
In this case. I started with a jelly roll and some charms, serious temptation from two lovely designers. When I was head down on that king sized quilt and buried under slabs I caved at some point in August to play. I sliced the charms in half and cut pieces of the jelly roll down to match. Then it was a matter of sewing pairs together. A lot of chain piecing and pressing. Then rows, then chunks like this. There are more chunks to go as there is more fabric to be used, but I am liking this so far. I have yardage of a subtle text print that will serve as background. You can just see bits of it used on the edges of this chunk.
No, if only I could find more time to play again.
this is fun!
ReplyDeleteYes it is fun to play. The "chunks" are a great idea!

ReplyDeleteoh, this looks delightful! and i hear ya. there's just not enough time for the play we should all do. boo.
ReplyDeleteawk, the problem with playing is it makes another ufo! lol I really am trying to quit doing that. But this is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun. Reminds me of Denyse's improv block technique.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for pre-cuts. Luv the combination of fabrics!
