Waves!

There are lots of different ways to piece a quilt.

Whilst I do love the patchwork of a traditional quilt with uniform blocks, the last few years I have really enjoyed the freedom of improvised piecing where I let the rotary cutter be the boss and go where it will! So… recently, all I can say is that I’ve been so busy sewing I’ve forgotten to post! And I’ve been making ‘waves’!

This is one of the quilt backings where I have gelliprinted wider width (aka wideback) fabric strips in varying shades of blue/grey, soft teal/grey and charcoal/grey. I then improvise cut a wavy horizontal ‘line’ on two of the fabrics by overlapping the top of one with the bottom of the other and then sewn together. I then repeated the process so it really does have a ‘wave’ effect. So happy with the result!

It looks so good that it can be reversible and enjoyed just as much as the front, as seen above with the waves shown vertically rather than horizontally as well!
