I don't really want to admit that I have distorted thoughts, but then again...
(I have a giveaway happening right now...please check it out)
The more I look at this piece of 'abstracted improv scrappy distorted illusion', the better I like it! Negative and positive. Yin and yang, Vice and versa. Black and white.

Quilting this wasn't that difficult. I knew I didn't want to use white thread and I didn't want black thread on the white. Black on black. The sides are free form wavy lines. Medium dense I would say. The center panel I quilted in the ditch, randomly throughout each block.
Quilting something that is black & white has thrown me for a loop! Do you go black, white or black on black and white on white? Maybe it depends on the backing. For a small project like this table runner, I don't think it is an issue. But for a larger project? How would you handle it?
I find it interesting the different shapes and designs you get after cutting the blocks (original post: IMPROV). It all depends on the layout. The biggest tip I can give you is play around with your blocks! You never know what it will turn in to!

That turned out really cool! For a bigger project - I might think about a Grey or neutral type thread so I didn't have to change it so much
ReplyDeleteThank you ~ I didn't think about gray thread!
DeleteI just want you to know that I am your biggest fan. I love the graphic boldness of this and the deceptive simplicity. Stunning work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Anne! blushing...
DeleteI love this runner - it is stunning and beautiful!! I would love to make one just for me!!
ReplyDeleteI love the bold graphics and all the quilting of your table runner. I am trying to figure out the black and white quilting thread issues myself. I have one ready to quilt all black and white prints with pop of turquoise, and will be piecing soon a black and white with red prints with a touch of gray and have no idea what threads to use yet. Thanks for sharing and linking up to TGIFF.
