Unfortunately my original idea for the back of the quilt fell through. I tried over and over again to get things to line up correctly, but just could not think well enough to make it work. So, I started over and came up with this!
I must say, I really like it.
I worked on quilting it, and my original thought was simple straight lines every 2 inches or so. Did one direction like that, then decided to mix it up. Final result was:
Conclusion while sewing this quilt, keep it simple. Don't think too abstractly when sewing pieces together, it just requires too much brain power. Also, with quilting, you can pretty much do anything it may turn out cool. Even with artistic areas of flair :)
It is also May 1, so that means that Kate and I have decided to start our next quilt project together. We have decided to complete a string quilt. I have found my inspiration at favequilts and also through the book Kate got me for Christmas.
So I have drawn out the pattern for my string quilt. Now time to get cutting.
Happy Wednesday!

ReplyDeletesoon you will be caught up and ahead of me. I pulled out scrap fabric and divided into colors for a few min. Then put it away and started working on Crazy. This weekend though, I will have my stuff cut I hope.
Deleteha, and i was looking at stuff and thinking, hmmm if I change this square to this color I can use these fabrics. That layout is just an idea. Nothing more. :)
