Remember this post? About these fabrics?
Well, I sold the squarish piece on the left. I cut it up and put it in bags with other fabrics.
Then I took the piece across the top and the wide piece in the middle and cut them up into 4.5 inch squares.
I tried laying them out
Then I stitched the squares together in strips.
I joined 3 of the strips together and 2 of the strips together. And you know me, I cut them up and inserted narrow strips.
I joined the 3 strip piece to the 2 strip piece. I put the squares onto a piece of calico and a backing cotton. Then machine quilted - after a fashion. I trimmed the whole piece and added the binding.
Yesterday I spent the day handstitching the binding whilst listening to podcasts.
Thanks for joining me today.

ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThose simple contrast lines make such a difference. I was watching the Repair Shop, and the bookbinder was extolling the virtues of Japanese Tissue.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love repair tissue
DeleteYou must be so pleased with this. I love the way those changes of direction and flashes of darker colour carry the eye around the piece. They also contribute to a sense of Venice reflections rippling in the water. Well done you
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am intrigued by your comment as I had seen the finished piece more as one of my canal pieces than Venice. I'll look at it in a different light!
