I’ve been having so much fun working on this improvisational quilt. (See the previous two posts for more in-progress photos and explanations.)
After LOTS of piecing, slicing, and repiecing, I finally thought the quilt sections had enough energy and excitement to start thinking about how to put them together. First, I looked for sections with similar dimensions and cut them so they could be pieced into rows. This involved making another few blocks to fill gaps. And finally, I had the sections arranged and ready to be pieced together.
Here it is, completely pieced. Of course, it shrunk again.
For quilting, I thought I could play up the curving lines. I drew some reference arcs and here’s the quilting in-progress.
And a detail shot, again, in-progress.
I think the quilting really adds a lot!
