I’ve you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you know that I’m not shy about cutting up a quilt. Sometimes I rearrange the pieces and create a new, more exciting composition. Other times, I use the new smaller pieces as the start of new little works of art. Such was the case with this COMPLETELY FINISHED quilt, Autumn Skyline.
There’s a lot that I like about this quilt: the colors, the fabrics, and parts of the design. But, it ultimately wasn’t exciting me. Therefore, I cut it into six different pieces.
I’m really liking this one. I think it’s begging for some hand stitching.
What if I turned it upside down?
I like all the grids in this one.
Here it is upside down.
Hmm, I’ll have to study these. They’re each about the size of a large place mat or small poster. Easily portable. So, maybe that hand stitching would be a good way to go. I seldom have a hand project at the ready, so these could be a nice change.
Here are some other examples of me cutting things up. Urban Sprawl.
