I was really inspired by this quilt, made by sewing different sized wedges of fabric together. I reined the technique in a bit to make these somewhat even waves.

To piece the top I cut wedges of random widths but (roughly) the same length then sewed them together in sets of eight. By alternating the orientation of these "blocks" I ended up with the waves.

I completely guessed at the amount of fabric I would need and ended up with the perfect amount for four rows with three blocks left over. I used the leftovers to make this arch on the back.

The label was made using this iLightbox technique and is sewn into the binding.

I was all ready to send this out but now I think I need to share it at the next LAMQG meeting!

ReplyDeleteThis is one of the prettiest quilts I've ever seen. I'm inspired! Your free motion is great too. I just finished free motioning a project last night and wanted my lines further apart but they still ended up more smushed together than I wanted.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful. The colors are very vibrant and I like the organic feel of the curves - not rigid. I also love seeing quilts that use solids other than white!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful. I love the colors and the lines. I am so inspired right now. I really think you need to make a pattern for this.
