It’s time to link up
our quilt and quilt top finishes for the Wayward Transparency Quilt along.
This is mine. It turned out pretty well in the
end, after taking out and replacing my original fabric choice in the ‘darker’
sections. I think the scale of the prints makes it difficult to see the transparency effect. Yvonne warned me about it
and I should have listened.
The layout of the
blocks is the result of a mistake I made in sewing them together and it's one I'm more than happy to have made.
The blocks have been
down-sized from the original pattern and I also used flip and sew techniques to
avoid too many seams through the daisy print. Changing the fabric in the overlay section after piecing the blocks meant that I was able to slip half square
triangle sections in making me look outstandingly clever ;-).
The finished size is
30 inches square and I’ve photographed it hanging on my garden shed using
whiteboard magnets. Nifty! Now to find other places to use them...
Happy sewing
Sue
I think your fabric choices have worked well and if the layout has been a mistake it was a good one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun happy quilt, love your fabric choice.
ReplyDeleteI love how this turned out with the prints that you used. And the layout is perfect. Also the whiteboard magnets is a great tip :)
ReplyDeleteI really like your layout, it's definitely a happy version of the quilt top! Thank you for joining in and I hope you enjoyed the QAL. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like it! I think this is the first one I've seen with patterns rather than solids. You do lose some of the transparency effect, but the patterns add something to it, too.
ReplyDeleteYours is my favorite of all the ones I've seen! I like the fabric choices and the layout. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteYour mistake led to such an interesting layout Sue. It may be different with the prints but it lends a unique feel to it. Thats an interesting way to hang a quilt, I'm just wondering what I could hang a quilt on.
ReplyDeleteI'm still working on mine Sue...yours is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt's really cute, I love your layout variation.
ReplyDeleteAren't you clever? That little twist in the block layout produces such a different design! Although the transparency effect isn't as apparent, it's still a lovely quilt. And man, what a great idea to take photos in the shed! They came out well. Thanks for linking up to Wednesday Wait Loss!
ReplyDeleteI really like your mini version of the design and I like the prints, it gives the quilt a different look than most of the other finishes.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty and strikingly different from all the other Transparency quilts I have seen. Dare to be different :-)
