First 2012 Finish!

This little lovely (48 x 40") all cotton, is the end result of my experiments with the prior "unhappy living together birthday blocks" ...

Which were then cut into slices and incorporated with other strips of coordinating fabric from my stash. I tested a lot of different fabrics, found the right ones and then laid them out (on my new design wall. Love it!!!!)
Normally, I would have stopped there and quilted it, but because I was working with Rayna Gillman's technique (through And Then We Set It On Fire), I added the slashed inserts. Totally not my thing, but I really like it just the same. Hope you do too.
But now I'm on to some of my own work. Looking forward to showing you the process!

ReplyDeleteYes, the slash inserts are great! I guess that's a good argument for trying something outside our "normal".
