Improv, Useful Remnants 2023
Yep,
I've been experimenting again. My favorite combination of white
with brightly colored remnants always makes a fun modern quilt.
This
time I combined two dies to create large unequal nine-patch blocks. I mixed
the skinny signature die with elements of the churn dash BOB die for
a lattice-like block. It is also similar to the 1920/1930's linoleum block. I did all piecing with Laney, my Singer 301.
Quilting
is simple straight stitch with white thread along seam lines, plus diagonal serpentine stitching across the signatures. Improv
finished at 61” square, and features orange and white dotted
backing/binding.
Puzzling
out new ways to combine dies is a creative way to keep my brain
active, and I am rarely bored. I could sew all day every day and
never be finished.
