Am trying a different arrangement for my tumbling blocks. I want to make a Strippy quilt out of my husband's wool suits and my friend's silk ties. I English paper pieced the blocks and am appliqueing them now. Lots of hand sewing, but I am loving it so far...
This is looking interesting Helen, looking forward to seeing the finished quilt - did you have to use a fusible interfacing on the silk ties?
ReplyDeleteYes, I used very lightweight interfacing to stabilize all those slippery silks.
DeleteThis is looking wonderful - nice to see the recyling effort there!
ReplyDeleteOh my all those memories in each stitch.
ReplyDeleteit is so beautiful already.....how large are the blocks?
Happy Sewing
Ooh, this looks awesome! Your design has a lovely modern effect, the silks just glow against the soft grey. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen tumbling blocks in this arrangement, and I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love this arrangement too, and the richness of the fabrics, glowing against the grey. I will look forward to seeing the progress on this one!
