Here is the latest progress – sewn yesterday and hopefully continued today…
Almost added a full round of whites on the orange centered blue blocks. Still unsure what will be the next round on the red-centered pink blocks.
The task board is already small for the blocks and since my design wall is not near the machine now… I might start laying them on the floor or a table…
I like the variety in the whites – fourteen of them and some not white at all… The blocks is moving away from the modern look it had in the previous stage and metamorphosing towards a more vintage look.
Loved the way the previous stage looked and was unsure will it keep all of it beauty when I was to add the whites… Feeling the same way now – love this look and want a quilt like stage one, a quilt like stage two – this one… Might feel same way after stage three.. Hope so!
It was really interesting to randomly space 14 fabrics in different styles – 2 solids. modern graphics, vintage graphics, retro romantic flowers, whimsical kid prints, vintage flowers…
I still have to add the final strips to the last two rows and it seems they will be distributed randomly enough among the blocks…
Keeping some rules and making them not obvious was my method and it worked well as always. I am not exactly ordered and rearranging till tired type of piecer… still logic makes good starts, and experiment adds interest, so choose a rule and stick to it creatively is usually my formula. Plus choosing the rule is usually not exactly the first step… LOL
Started to really love the Process Pledge! Button on the right!
Here is the orange invasion in my studio… Slow but inevitable – it covered the pink…
