I am including Improvisational Quilt, no. 4 in this year's challenge. It was sewn during Hurricane Harvey in the late summer 2017 but it was the quilt that started this movement to sew and document these quilts.
I like the quilt backings to be interestingly different from the fronts. In this quilt's case, it is backed with a very soft 1970s vintage sheet.
I sew these as intuitively as I can. I generally have a pile of fabrics I think work well together and then I just start sewing. Sometimes one area will make a decision for another area of the quilt's surface.

Love the look. Reminds me of our old quilts, during the "Great Depression" time. So warm and cuddly. Makes me want to make one. Thank you for sharing. Absolutely love it.
ReplyDeleteThe essence of quilting!
ReplyDeleteI❤️That kind of quilts, thanks for sharing. 👋from the Netherlands
ReplyDeleteLove your work! Really enjoy how the fabrics play off of each other, and how they allow my eye to roam around. Looks like the kind of quilt that would look great with a lot of different decor styles, too, which is a big plus.
