In April a friend dropped in and brought along a Charity Quilt top I offered to quilt. I did and it is done!!! I should have rotated the picture.... This quilt is Kaffe Fasset fabrics and a blue batik. It is really quite colorful and bright. And it goes along with the Challenge (below)... as it is also a 'String Pieced Quilt'!
One of the the guilds I belong to issued a challenge in February. "Strings" and I immediately thought of a Zebra. The rules were 50% of the quilt had to be strings, the strings had to be less than 2.5 inches in width, and it did not have to be quilted. Due in June.
I had so much fun making the Zebra that I had to do another one. The Giraffe.
I hope to do a few more of these.... because they were fun and as I was doing them they made me remember some of the things from daily living in South Africa that I had not thought about in a long while. I created a label on the reverse of the zebra that talks about many of the things I remembered about wildlife in South Africa. The Giraffe label will talk about shopping in South Africa.
Still More Later!!! Beth
Are you making all of your Africa pieces the same size so they can hang together as a grouping?
ReplyDeleteThose all turned out very nice! Cool idea for a series and putting your memories on the back (and on info tags when displayed) is super.
ReplyDeleteLove your Africa pieces but the giraffe the best ;) great to be able to put your African adventure into pieces of art.
