Normally, Strippy Quilts are pretty quick to make. Mine wasn’t. I bought the fabric in June 2010 (for myself, for my 3X th birthday). I finally pieced the strips in March 2011 to make a demo quilt for the DVD I made for Quilters Companion. In the DVD, I did a bit of ruler work. Like 3 diagonals on one strip and a teeny bit of feather.
It stayed that way on my bookshelf in the studio until January 2012 when I finally pulled it off to quilt.
It was still on the zippers – I just always put clients’ work before my own. I finished off the crosshatching and had a bit of figuring to do for the feathers – I did have parts of the spines already stitched. Here it is being loaded back onto the longarm.
I had to try and make the feathers look like they were crossing over each other. Took a bit of fussing but it worked OK. I will not own up to the wonky bits if you can’t find them yourself.
It needs a wash and blocking then I will bind it.
Love it! wonky bits or no, it’s a beauty!
OOOooo! It make have taken some time to percolate, but it’s lovely. Doesn’t it feel good to finish?
