I did not want to spend the time to figure out how to draft the 4 arrow version, and none of my fabrics seemed to work great as part of an arrow in that large block. I have recently been perusing Pinterest and one of my friends has a lot of strip quilting projects on her page. So - I thought that would be a good idea as it also ties into the block we did in Week 8. This is my first attempt at this method, and I like the results:
It's a bit cheery to represent prisoners' clothing, but I have to admit it was fun to do! I expect I will also have fun deciding where to place it in the quilt. It must point at something I really like.
Week 30 is done and we have 19 more to go.
It's been quite a ride - I love your choice of strip piecing for this week's block! I have EQ and Blockbase so I didn't have to draft that 4-block version and just had it make me some paper-piecing sheets. But this version works as well or better at the scale of the block - especially with the large variety of prints you used. Well done!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment....I just couldn't see doing a large chunk of fabric.
DeleteI wondered if folks are using these programs to do the block variations. I have neither as I run on a Mac and don't want to bother with the mechanisms for getting them on a Mac. Perhaps the desire will some day outweigh the hassle. Or I'll get a junk PC laptop to use.
I also don't need anything else to distract me from housework right now! HA!
