My first entry in the MODERN QUILT CATEGORY is 'THREADS'.

| 47 1/2" x 62" |
Getting inspiration from others and making it your own is always a fun process for me. So, my added touch was to add color. Just a little, just enough to satisfy my 'gotta use color' itch!
Improv never let's me down! I enjoy the process of slicing and dicing. Sometimes it's scary not knowing where you are going or even if it's going to work out in the end. My advice is keep going, because you never know!
There was the million dollar question of how to quilt it. Make it or break it, as they say. This quilt screamed random, organic, funky and imperfection. I used a variety of grays in the beginning and then went back and added a lines of color.
This quilt is entered in the MODERN QUILT CATEGORY !

ReplyDeleteI know it hasn't been that long since my original post, but it is the Blogger's Festival after all!!
DeleteI LOVE IT! So fun. I'm so diggin' on the improv thing...I love grey too and have a lot of it. This is a perfect use of those scraps. As usual - fabulous job, Jayne.
ReplyDeleteThank you my dear! It certainly is one of my very favorite quilts this year! Using scraps sometimes feels like spinning straw into gold!
DeleteThis is a fantastic quilt. I love the small slices of color and how the added colored quilting adds a depth when you take the time to look close. Fantastic improv and modern quilt! Good luck in the festival. :)
ReplyDeleteIt hasn't been that long since this finish! Hopefully it won't bore to many with posting it again!

ReplyDeleteGreat quilt ! I love these spots of colour on grey. And the bright lines really adds something to the composition.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea where the quilt was going to go when I started it! It just evolved as I went along!
DeleteThis is gorgeous! The pops of color in the piecing and quilting really give it visual interest and draw you in. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my all time favorite quilts! I just had to add color to it…just the tiniest little bit!
DeleteI love the texture of this quilt.
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun making a scrap monochromatic quilt, and especially fun seeing it come together with just a touch of color added!
DeleteI love the overall effect but when you see it up close and the thread colors it is marvelous!
ReplyDeleteThe thread is pretty subtle until you get closer. It works with this design and turned out exactly how I wanted it to! That doesn't always happen!
DeleteReally wonderful, as always, Jayne!
