Here is a picture of the second entry for the Strings Festival. I struggled with the proportions of the quilt top. I had originally planned on having two more colors, black and brown strips, but once they were done I didn't like them in the mix. That meant that the top was proportionally too long for the width. Aesthetically speaking that is!
I know that having a longer quilt is certainly a boon for some but it just looked awkward to me. Sooo, I cut off ten inches and will use this as part of the backing piecing.
I'm sure enjoying the Festival of Strings. Be sure to visit! http://www.stitchedincolor.com/2013/05/festival-of-strings.html
Enjoy!

Gorgeous, Toni! I love how you used the extra piece from the length for the back.
ReplyDeleteVery neat quilt. I like the crumb piecing in colorways. It is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteSo, did you sew together teeny tiny pieces of fabric and then cut them into strips? This is so, so cool. (And I have a huge bag or three of teeny tiny pieces I need to use...) A very pretty top.
ReplyDeleteOh, great quilt! I like the way you arranged the colors into lines. It has a modern feel and aesthetic. Found you via Rachel's String Festival. I'm having a wonderful time discovering new blogs.
