Today is TOMORROW

I received a call about 1 today that my computer was ready. I drove right over to get it and picked up a cherry cheese danish in the bakery on the way out.

This is the quilt I have been working on in progress. When I have 6 inches or less of a solid fabric left I cut it into strips. When I need something to jump start getting back into sewing I sew strips together in some organized manner. When I want to create something without spending the hours required to cut and sew strip together I have a ready supply of strata I've previously sewn together.

This is the composition after I have sewn it together and quilted it. I am pleased with it now that it is almost done. The quilting added so much with the texture and movement the quilting lines created. The working title is "For Never Plaid".

Of course this is tonight's puzzle too.

I like your quilt, I also love your idea. I may have to try something like that. I have tons of fabric scraps I never throw away!

So pleased to see you have your photos back - rotten when we can't do the things we want to cos the technology won't play.

Love Sue xx

Great to have you back with photos.
Love that idea of cutting and sewing strips. I always say I am going to do that later, but never get to it. This is once again motivating me.

What a tempting 3D-effect! love to see more of this kind.

I agree with Eva, very 3D looking. Several layers there and it really adds interest. Super idea with the strips. Actually using all of the leftovers and reducing the srap bins! Um I may try that!

Love it Kay.....the lime green strips are the perfect punch! Too bad I don't have any strips or in truth many fabric scraps.....when one beads as much as I do.....there doesn't seem to be time to cut lots of fabrics. Your quilt makes me wish I did!
