I paid dearly for the thoughtless anti-design sewing. None of my ideas seemed to work to make these blocks into a quilt. Then today it hit me. I put all my four patches on the wall and saw that they could go together like this and in a few hours my design came to life. Hurray! What a relief!
My long held background fabric is my design made by Springs Industries from my Hollyhocks II quilt. I have yardage in both navy and black and have never used it until now.
The original quilt was quilted in my hand dyed pearl cotton #12 thread, which was copied and made into this fabric.

Oh splendid! A wonderful way to use up the four patch blocks. I love that Springs took your quilting design for a fabric run. I love the navy version.

ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt. It proves that you can make art out of something out of "thoughtless anti design sewing"
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I just used the last of that fabric, in black. I never realized it was yours!
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled in from Pinterest. What a glorious showcase of scraps. Love it so much I think I need to go have a little look around at the rest of your blog.
