I have been sewing and working toward my next big quilt. These panels are about 10" wide and 44" long made with all my hand-dyed fabrics. I have two more greens to do and then I will decide what to do with them. I have some ideas and that keeps changing. They may get cut in half vertically. I'm making these using my skinny-wiggly piecing technique, but that uses one inch strips and these start out with two inch strips and go together so much faster. Maybe they are fat-wiggly piecing.
In person there is more of a change in color between panel 2 and 3. Hmmm, who's lying, the camera or my eyes. Stay tuned and I'll show my progress as I move along.
I'm linking up with
Off the Wall Friday. See what others are up do in the fiber art world.

I really like the looks of these panels, and I find the size of them nice, too. I've been sewing random pieces of hand dyes into strips, using some thin muslin as a foundation, was thinking of making table runners with them. Very curious to see what you do with these!
I love the idea of 'fat wiggly piecing'!! It's looking good and it's going to be big! I'll be watching to see where you go next with these.
One of the things I love about creating art is how we change our minds as we create a piece. It's like a two way conversation between us and the fabrics. The fabrics have a say in what they become.
They are beautiful! Very calming somehow. You could stop right there, bind and quilt and they would be great but I'll bet you want to take it "to the next level"
Can't wait to see what that will be :-)
Do you have a tutorial on your skinny piecing method?
Looking forward to see what you create with your skinny pieces!
They are lovely as they are! Can't wait to see what you do with them.
love love love
