This time I thought I would actually use this re-purposed piece for something functional and make it a soft quilt to use while you read or watch tv in Vermont. The throws that I have there are embarrassing-in a home where one sews regularly!
It took a little longer than I thought but I am ok with how it turned out. Much better than not being used at all or sitting there undone for years.
I realized as I flipped the photos to see which way it looks better that it didn't matter because it wasn't intended to be hung. Fun and easy to do. All the pieces and parts for the squares came from this original piece which felt like a silly beach blanket.
Maybe I should see what else I could chop up....
Be creative, my friends! I hope to go to a 3 hour lecture on machine quilting tomorrow. What are you up to with your art this weekend?
Chopping things up is indeed very satisfying! Love how the end result turned out and I suddenly feel like getting out those scissors and a box of UFO's!
