It's taken a number of years to collect enough funky little fabrics to make this thing jump. Now I am cutting, cutting, cutting. I always forget what a chore that can be. I am having to iron as I go because I pre-washed all of these incredibly bright fabrics. That means lots of wrinkles.
This is just the beginning of the cutting.
This is a mock-up of the zig-zag pattern. Look! The seams don't have to be matched.
I found this piecing method on Exuberant Color. Wanda got it from one of her readers. The link to Wanda's example is:

I love the colors... and the monkeys... this will be a really happy quilt!
ReplyDeleteThe dye will wash off of the cement or walkway,,, that is another reason I like working with these dyes...
Just does not wash off of bare hands well.
Ha ha! Yeah, there is one of our classmates who is probably still working on getting that black dye off of her hands. :-)
DeleteThat is going to be one wild quilt - I love it!!!!
