My Sunday only project is the strips of 5 triangle squares. More explained last Sunday. I hadn't made any dark low contrast strips yet so I cut some dark Kaffe fabrics to pair with the variety of mediums I have left in the project box. I'm up to 89 strips now.
I decided I want one more finish for August so I trimmed batting to the right length and cut 2 lengths of this Kaffe Banana Tree fabric for the back. I need to press both lengths before I sew the seam to join them.
We had some storms roll through in the late afternoon but we were just on the southern edge of them so just a tenth of an inch of rain. More predicted for this afternoon but it looks like it might miss us.
that banana fabric is interesting!
ReplyDeleteThe dark strips are fabulous and moody. That banana tree fabric is spectacular and will look great on the back of a quilt! No rain here. We had spotty showers on our way to the show on Friday afternoon, but that is the last of the rain I saw in NEO (northeast Ohio).
ReplyDeleteI just used that banana fabric in blue and purple on a backing. Actually, it was Julie's backing fabric on a comfort quilt. I probably did not match it as well as I would have like. A bit of skill lacking in that area. Love the triangles progress.
ReplyDeleteI did go back and look at last Sunday and could visualize your dark with the light strips. Another of your signature works in the making. ~ I really like the glow of your backing fabric.

That banana fabric is amazing...looking forward to seeing how the lighter dark strips change this look...hugs, julierose
ReplyDeleteI am seriously considering making another quilt inspired by that vintage beauty. My first was a bit too "organized" and I'd like to do one that is more like what you are doing. All in good time, I guess.
