A few days ago I assembled the woven blocks quilt, and (since this photo) got the binding machined on, so it just needs the second side hand stitching down. I used a new fleece from Ikea, a lovely marl grey
I'm really pleased with the effect of it, although some seams didn't match too well
I actually had enough fabric that it could have been a bit bigger, but I'd run out of fleece so it stopped at Ikea's standard size: 51x67", but that left me with fabric, and I'm trying to finish project fabrics.
Having enjoyed making the white Sweet Sixteen blocks I decided to start one with the leftover Woven strips
I joined together quite a few strips, pressed them, and cross cut them
I'll need to arrange them a bit more randomly, as my *actually* random attempt has too many fabrics near their twin.
I shall have to used Avril's planned random method - she calls it Randoku - random, but not repeating in a block, column or row!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Oh now that turned out really nice!
ReplyDeleteYour woven effect quilt is brilliant - such a clever and striking effect - and the left over square blocks look great too. The light house is also amazing. I've enjoyed seeing it grow over these recent posts :)
ReplyDeletethe woven quilt looks great, wonder how you went on quilting it I imagine fleece can be a bit of a pain to do. Good to see the left over blocks put to good use, happy random playing to get it how you want it
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful quilt and Have fun with the random !
ReplyDeleteGreat woven quilt! love your plan to randuko your left over squares!
ReplyDeleteI like the quilts where you play with strips. I've still got the men's blue shirting one earmarked for a possible quilt moment.
ReplyDeleteRandom is harder than it looks, isn't it Benta?
ReplyDeleteYour woven quilt looks lovely, what a great idea to use fleece for the backing too.
