    Love watching you work through things. This quilt top is giving me comic book vibes.

    I love the “intentional randomness” of this! The colors really pop against the black. Thanks for the fun video. 🙂

    Oh I love this scrappiness and I can see the wheels turning while you’re working on it. The addition of the stripe elevates it to a level beyond just scrappy.

    Absolutely amazed by the effeciency of your first "exploratory cuttings"! I learned something really useful about busy prints, thank you so much! I might dare to cut into mine soon 😁

    Love the Butterfly scrappy with the black strip in between.

    When you first started cutting, I thought you were crazy. But the way it turned out is amazing. I can't wait to try something like this. Thank you for this artistic approach to fabric creation.

    Take care cutting in the air and with the blades towards you. That first cut ✂️ you made gave me a jolt! 😯 signed your older sew sister ❣

    My favorite things, crumb piecing and doing random cuts to fabric. I’m going to find a piece of fabric I love but don’t know what to do with it and try this Fun FUN!

      I call this randomised attachment. If you don't overthink it magic happens

    I would not have thought to do this. It reminds me of a shattered mirror reflecting something very colourful. It might have been interesting to back the quilt with the original butterfly fabric.

  • @cherylfryatt7339
    @cherylfryatt7339 Před rokem

    I think you did an awesome job working with the Butterfly material. I would never had thought about cutting it up and then putting it back together in hat way. You made an amazing quilt. What an imagination.

    Darlene M would be so proud of you. She’s the queen of cutting things up into tiny little pieces. I love how it turned out and you can’t go wrong using stripes

  • @lesa6399

    My kinda gal! Loving your process & what you’re creating! I agree about hiding the “obvious” seam. Thank you for sharing!!!

    Fabric like that might work good for stack-n-whack.

    • @Westernwilson
      @Westernwilson Před 11 měsíci

      Try using fabrics with big, discrete, separate areas of colour. Using a very busy fabric like this results in a SNW/1BW quilt that looks very much like the original fabric.

    I love this! It would be fantastic sewn to a denim jacket (which I pick up very cheaply at thrift stores).

    All that random chopping gave me anxiety but your quilt turned out beautiful. I can't wait to see it finished. Great choice of the accent fabrics. At first I was struggling to see your vision but well done I think you nailed it.

  • @moniquebroumels8312
    @moniquebroumels8312 Před rokem

    I agree about the seamline. I think that I would have unpicked it and joined it back together with a stop petrol or the black and white striped fabric. Looking lovely though. Reminds me of a cathedral window type quilt block / quilt top. Ps scrappy quilts are always my favourite. They are just endlessly interesting to look at!

  • @juliebute905

    • @Westernwilson

      I think this is a Philip Jacobs fabric from the Treasure Island line "Tropical Butterflies".
