After ages of not knowing what to make for this challenge, I ended up making six 9 1/2" square quilts inspired by sashiko, colour and typography.
It was something of a scrap project, using up the fused silk pieces I had left over from my Circles and Squares quilt.
The first little quilt I made was probably the most sashiko/boro inspired but I was having fun so I just carried on without worrying about keeping too closely to the theme.
I've posted more about this project over over at Rainbow Hare.
I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone has made this time :)
How fun! I like each one, and just realized they spell colour (apparently I need more coffee)! I like the designs with the added stitching.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wendy. I'm glad the letters weren't too obvious. I was trying to be abstract!
DeleteLove these. Wish you had included close-up of all of them.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have individual photos on my blog but they probably look neater from a distance!
DeleteThese are such fun! After reading Wendy's comment above, I had to look again. Cute!
ReplyDeleteThank you. I really enjoyed making these :)
DeleteI love these! You win my Creative Person of the Year award -- I think you definitely pushed the technique into new areas, while still honoring the tradition.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very kind compliment. Thank you very much :)
