Here is my challenge. I've never posted to a blog before. It put my first picture (the whole quilt) last. The first two are closeups to show the hidden treasures- lots of sparkly little beads. I started with a one yard piece of hand dyed fabric that I had made. I completed the lower left rectangle first, which is about 9"x11". I had a lot of fabric left and it just kind of grew. I had the skein of green yarn that seemed to go well with it. I knitted the panels to give a textured sash between the blocks and crocheted the border. It is quilted with a satin stitch between the pieces. Altogether it is about 21" x 30".

I love it!
ReplyDeleteI like the yarn in the piece, gives it the texture that draws your eye all over the sections. Way Cool!!
I really enjoy the curves in this piece, and the texture. Very very nice.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done. I especially like the joining-with-yarn idea.
ReplyDeleteI really like this. I love that is isn't square, but is pieces put together. I really wish I could have joined this challenge. You've all done a great job - and so different.
ReplyDeleteI love the interesting shape of your quilt and the colour of your dyed fabric. The knitted and crochet sections add texture as does the beading.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you broke up the piece then crocheted it back together. Did you hand bead all if this? I would go blind!
ReplyDeleteIt's truly a piece of art ,wow the colors in your fabric are fantastic. clever design,I love the shape .Very eye appealing ....
ReplyDeleteLove the dyed fabric you started with and then the different angles of the piece. To use wool knitted and crochet are a wonderful idea and worked so well on this piece of art.

What rich colours and I never would have thought of 'knitting' it altogether - literally. Quite unique.
