I don't remember where i found this idea....it's been a while ago. but the idea was to use a piece of fabric that you really didn't want to cut into small pieces to make blocks for a quilt. you use the whole piece of fabric and cut it into larger pieces and then fuse it onto a background with space between the pieces. so you get the effect of the whole piece of fabric that looks kind of like a stained glass windows. no piecing.
Like this...
It turned out kind of cool...
But i think i needed a different fabric. wonder how it would have looked with a panel of scenery...
Maybe something other than flowers. hmmmmm....
Gosh...there are so many ideas out there in cyberworld. i sort of quilted a rough echo inside the parts...about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch apart. and did curvy lines in the border. will i ever make another one? who knows...maybe...with a different print perhaps.
Here is the back. i had enough of a floral stripe to piece a back.
You can see the quilting a bit better here.
It turned out to be 46x60 inches. you are sort of stuck with the width of the fabric that you cut up. actually, now that i think about it....it would have been easier to just leave the fabric in one piece and stitch bias strips over it for the 'stained glass look'. oh well, i can say i tried it.
It will be a donation quilt for someone.
Gotta try new things...right? LOL
Keep sewing...keep learning...see ya
Later
