Abstracting a Bird of Paradise
I made this quilt about 10 years ago. It’s only 12 x 12, but I really like it. I was looking through my photos the other day and I thought this image might look great somewhat abstracted. And increased in size. So, I started working on PIECING it, to be about 24 x 24. Here’s…
Slicing and Dicing: Now Where Was I?
After starting a new quilt at a retreat, it was time to continue at home. Now, where was I? Something like this. I studied the arrangement and knew I wanted to change a few things.

Great information!
Oh oh OH! I gotta try this *soon*! Thank you for the tutorial.
PS – How did you create those irregular fabric edges on Red Strata?
Good question. That’s one of my favorite techniques. I call it jagged cutting. The idea is to scrunch the fabric into your scissor blades as you’re cutting. The result is that jagged and irregular edge. I love the effect. I use it a lot for vegetation, and anytime I want an unpredictable “zigzag.” See a class example at http://adventurequilter.com/just-a-few-hours-of-progress/
Yes, try it Lif. It’s easy and it adds a lot of bling.
