I call this my 'Recovery Quilt'. It was all hand sewn on paper pieces while I was recovering from a foot/ankle operation, which rendered me immobile for several months.
A long bed runner. The front used scrap fabrics to create the blocks with black fabric in between to create the illusion of them floating, It has a black border and floral backing. |
This is achieved cutting out all the pieces, bonda webbing onto fabric backing and appliqued on. It took several monts to complete and was long arm quilted by White Orchid.

A fabulous exercise in learning how to use light to dark tones of fabric, and how effective strips of fabric sewn together can create movement. Rosemary Yeoman was inspirational in teaching us how to accomplish the 'Bargello' quilt.
Strips of fabric from light to dark joined together, then cut into various sized strips |
