I'm still working on the pieces for the temperature quilt. Yesturday I managed to sew each days high and low fabric together, for each month. They are all in baggies ready to go. Now I have all the fabric cleaned up and put away until I need them. I kept February's block pieces out, as today is already February.....where did the time go!
Anyways, rather than bore you with another picture of just pieces, I went onto the achieves and came up with this beautiful quilt. This quilt was made by a friend, way back in February/2024! I've been holding on to these two photos since then.
The blocks are slices down the middle or there abouts. Then you treat each side individually. You can slice the one half twice or just one time, making a steep angle or a smaller angle. It is completely up to you. Then you insert a 1" strip to form the branch. Once you're done both sides, you then attach both sides back together with a 1" strip. Once your done, you would trim the blocks to a common size.
Here is a close up of the blocks. All sorts of fabrics were used in here. Enlarge the photo and you will see the variety that went in here. The pictures do not do this quilt justice. You'll have to trust me when I say that it was gorgeous!! Up close, my eyes kept feasting on the assortment of combinations. Fabrics that you wouldn't think to put together mingled quite nicely.
I would like to make one of these quilts, but using my scraps. The largest piece of fabric needed would be the rectangles and I have plenty of strings that can be cut into 1" strips. I'll have to add this one to my bucket list. Mine would likely be a bit more tame, as I don't have all of these gorgeous bright batiks like my friend has, but I still think it could be affective. I think I will like doing the improve piecing.
Take care everyone.
