| Giant Log Cabin Side |

| Improv Side |
I have to say that I LOVED piecing the improv side. It's made with the scraps from the giant log cabin side plus the scraps from this quilt. I then inserted the grey strips so that they appear to be floating on top of the background reds. This was a challenge and it was so much fun! I think you'll be seeing more of this type of piecing from me in the future.
This side also took way longer to put together than I had planned though. The log cabin side was finished a couple of weeks ago, but the improv side was finished Tuesday morning; just four days before the wedding (three days before we had to leave for said wedding). Gulp!
I was planning on doing matchstick quilting on this quilt because I just loved the texture it gave on All Things Equal. Think I finished it in time for the wedding? Find out later this week... ;)
C'mon, M-R, you are such a tease... Show us the finished quilt now!!!! It must be gorgeous. Love the improv piecing.
ReplyDeleteLove it....improv is so addictive isn't it!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I'm not sure which side I like more, I'd have to flip it every few days to enjoy both!
ReplyDeletelooks great on both sides. I'm guessing you finished it, but you may have a sore neck from all that quilting!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love the backdrop by the way. Knew those hockey nets would come in handy some day :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's really cool! Excellent job with the piecing, I'm betting some pieces were a pain to align after adding the grey strips.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward the next chapter, lol.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! I love the back: the grey strips really come out! Can't wait to know the outcome!!
ReplyDeleteLooks great, either direction! (Also, love the use of a hockey net :D Gave me a laugh.)
ReplyDeleteUhm, yeah. M-R - I wish Ottawa was closer so that I could come to your guild and pick your brain in person... Love it! Goooooaaalll!! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat an idea..... Why not?
ReplyDeleteLooks to be a wonderful quilt.Hope you will manage the time limit.
