more improv/slab piecing today.
this time in greens and blues.
not so much a work in progress.
but more like play in progress.
hoping i never tire of quilting.
i'm feeling in my groove today.
and enjoying it very much.
Looks lovely! Do you have a particular plan of attack while making these blocks? Could you share a tutorial? I love the look, but freeze when I sit down to do some.
Thanks! This is what we (Cheryl and I) called "slab piecing" in our book Sunday Morning Quilts. There is a how-to section describing the process in the book.
this quilt is many slabs all hanging out together. :) it's an improv approach to scrap quilting. it does take some practice, but it does get easier over time. i hope you try it!
I was going to second the request from "I plead quilty" at the to for a tutorial, but I see you have included it in your book. I think I will buy it...!
That is really interesting... I love how it's coming together. Very cool.
It's so neat to see how quilters' styles change over time and how different this top is from what you were doing when I first started reading you oh so long ago... :-)
This is awesome! I'm still planning on slab piecing those cool storage boxes. On the other hand, I have bunches of solid scraps (and this time I think I'll keep them instead of sending them your way...) so maybe this is where they will be heading.
I really do like this and you have done a lovely job. It looks so well balanced. I am also a fan of greens and blues in a big way. And the key is to enjoy yourself. Oh, wouldn't it be so hard if we didn't?
I think this is really pretty, and I have a crazy thought. Sorry. I love it on the floor. Wound't this be a great print on a boy's bedroom floor. haha Never saw tiles like that and who could ever paint that! But I love it!
I have informed my hubby that sunday Morning Quilts is what he's getting me for my birthday this month. :-) I really want to try the improv piecing, and seeing the gorgeous blues and greens you've used has settled the matter.
