Oh, how much fun it was to modify and stretch the possibilities.
My goal was:
1- Start with a 7 1/2 inch square and form a half square unit and don't add any extra pieces of fabric.
2- Play with the placement of the blocks and be open to the design ideas that develop during this process, doesn't matter if I failed after a few attempts.
4- Settle with the most unusual design (for me) and finish!
This has been a fascinating process. I failed so many times trying to figure out how the improv composition works with only one block - half-square triangle- I learn a lot and I am pleased with the results. I like it so much that I already started another quilt, which I will share in a future post.
This is a close up before it has been quilted.
These are another close ups after it has been quilting. I have decided to quilt it in straight lines. A combination of machine stitching and hand embroidery lines makes this piece sing, don't you think?
The size is 32" by 33". The binding is not sewn yet but I couldn't resist to share it :)
My quilting group organized a small quilt show in an art gallery to benefit the Women's Exchange in my hometown.
On the photograph you can see only part of the gallery- mine is in the bottom-Everyone did a wonderful job, was a delight to see all the works of art in one room with different styles.
My quilt *Circle flowers* went to a happy home and all the proceeds were donated to the Women's Exchange Organization.
I will be teaching two workshops online in January:
*The Book of secrets*
I hope you can join me. You can read more about it HERE
Ooh! I really like your improv "experiment"!
