Kiwi (?) Quilt Underway

I got brave and decided to cut into some of my specialized fabrics. These are hand dyes that have a variety of motifs, scales, or colors. They’re not “yardage” and are a little more challenging to use. These were my starting three.

The left fabric reminded me of kiwifruit, so I began to think of it as “my kiwi quilt.”

I tried out other fabrics to add to the mix. Some dark blue definitely helped.

This was my “final” selection.

It was a little intimidating to cut into that kiwi fabric. Since the motif was so large I didn’t want to whittle it down too much. This was the first cut.

And another.

And another. Taking it from one piece to four.

Time to “Tetris” these pieces together, and to make a few more to get the job done.

It was getting quite energetic and I was liking it.
