A Cast Of Hundreds.
Posted on | July 26, 2024 | 7 Comments
Yes, hundreds, but not thousands. I have been collecting fabrics for this quilt for several years. Mostly my fabrics but also some from nearby friends and also bloggy friends. ( See if you can find yours, Susan.)
I started out thinking I would make a low volume quilt and started collecting and cutting my 3 1/2 squares and put them into a box.
But then I added more that were a novelty value.
There were more that fit into the I-Spy category.
And so in the end it grew into a collection of squares.
So it goes to show that I can’t stick to low volume, even if I tried.
I backed the quilt with text fabric, then used a stripe for the binding.
I quilted in straight lines making a chevron pattern starting at each side and returning from the centre. I quite like the result where no quilting lines cross.
The end result is using hundreds of different fabrics in one quilt. A lot of cutting but worth the effort.
It ended up at 60 X 60 inches.
Cheers, Karen
