A finish and a work in progress – 2013.06.28

Terry Aske Starry Winter Night 2I got the Sew Batik challenge quilt faced, labeled and sleeved on Wednesday, and in the mail Thursday.  I forgot to take another photo after sewing on the facing, so this one (cropped to finished size) will have to do.

I really enjoyed the spontaneous free-style design and construction of this quilt.  Normally I would have drawn a design, enlarged it to full size, and traced that to freezer paper or fusible web.  Instead, I cut all the pieces free-hand and just placed them on the background where they looked good.

 

Now I’m back to working on the portrait quilt.  The background is all fused, as are the two people, but I haven’t actually fused the people to the background yet.  TerryAske_portrait quilt in progress
