Trusting Fate
Trusting Fate, unquilted cottons, machine pieced. 32.5 x 42.5"
My decision to use up scraps resulted in this piece and there are still more strips left to use. Do they reproduce when I am not looking? The title comes from just using what was next to make my striped fabric. Whatever happens, I was trusting the results to work.
The piece is wonky and feels more folk-arty and fresh. I am really happy.
Now you took the words out of my keyboard and don't leave anything to be said.

Yup - LOVE the wonkiness of this one!
ReplyDeleteSomehow it works - not sure why, but it does. Are you going further or is this it? I like it.
ReplyDeleteGreat piece. I have always said that my fabric and yarn are busy at night having babies and that is why my stash is the size it is.
ReplyDeleteMarie,
ReplyDeletethis one is finished, except for the quilting, of course. We'll see what else the leftovers will become.
I love this one!
ReplyDeleteRock on with your Wonky self.
ReplyDeleteI'm swooning over here!
I guess it is time that your Big Sis tells you the facts of life!
ReplyDeleteWhen you put your fabrics away and it gets dark they breed in the box.
The only place they don't breed is here in Florida. I don't know why?

Well, that is really spectacular. Wish I'd made it!
ReplyDeleteThis one is wonderful, Melody! It looks less formulaic than some of the earlier print exercises. It sings!
ReplyDeleteI took some of my scrap clearance pieces to a gathering of quilty friends last week, and one gal said, "Oh, this piece would make a great table runner." I gave it to her. Another grabbed a couple of pieces and said, "Tote bag!" I handed them over. Someone said, "You can't give away your work!" I said, "A couple of weeks ago, these were scraps in a cupboard. Now, they're useful. Hooray!" It's a psychically good thing to clear the decks.
ReplyDeleteWonky, fun and just plain cute!
ReplyDeletelove it. bright, happy, and free.
