I finished another 7 squares for my color wheel circle quilt. Now I have about 26 squares so I am going to decide on a layout so I can start assembling the quilt. I played with free motion quilting using thread scraps for the center of a flower. I used my free motion couching foot to add yarn to a square. I used the color wheel to help decide what colors to add to the circle in a square blocks. I “fuzzy cut” some fish shapes and added yarn for one square. I also played with lettering in one of the blocks – “Make Art”. This project has been lots of fun to experiment with new techniques on small blocks. I felt like I was making little square postcards since I treated each square as a mini-quilt. Next I have to figure out a layout for the blocks and add some more embellishments. I have a few ideas. Keep having fun sewing and quilting. Donna
SO fabulous!
Thanks. The quilt is almost done. Hope to have it done for our next Modern guild meeting. I am working on the binding this weekend.
What a fun way to play with such a wide variety of methods. Your results are inspiring. Great colour combos, and the repetition of the circle ties everything together nicely. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.
Thanks. The quilt is almost done. I am working on the binding this weekend. I am using a yarn binding technique.
I’m intrigued. I’ve not head of that.
