A little piecing....after all, I just had to try out my new die, for the Go Cutter... the smaller size drunkards path.
These are a little more finicky to piece than the larger size, but I thought the quilt could use a few smaller circles

Hmm, should I or shouldn't I add a few stripes??

ReplyDeletego M, go!! i just got some Oakshott stripes. haven't yet decided how to use them i say YES! stripe it up, baby!
ReplyDeleteLove...love what's going on over here!! Stripes? I say no...it may take away from the fab..pieced stripes you have in your blocks...but maybe I'm wrong ;o)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jenny. I like the freeform stripes you add much better.
ReplyDeleteThose stripes are great, but I'll leave it to you to decide if they work with this project or not.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks look scrumptious, thank you for sharing them!
ReplyDeleteNever tire of seeing this quilt develop.
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will make the right choice on the stripes. I love block 10, it is looking amazing.
ReplyDeleteI vote yes on the stripes. Every time I see this project, it makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, simply awesome
ReplyDeleteI love how this is growing
A work of art in the making.
ReplyDeletethis quilt is really wonderful....am pretty new to this quilting lark and hope some day to know how you do this!
ReplyDeleteI ADORE the way you are using the pieced circles in such an unconventional way. Brilliant! You simply rock every quilt that you design!
ReplyDeleteLove the different scale for the last circle. You have such good design instincts. As for the stripes? They are regularly spaced and differ quite a bit from the free form piecing of the rest of the squares, but if you do use them, something tells me you'll figure out how to make them wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNow for a question. Do you like your Go Cutter? Use it a lot? It's on my "Should I buy this or not" list.
Hugs.
Thanks Diane...I'm not sure about the stripes yet either.
DeleteRegarding the Go Cutter, I do like using it, but because I do a fair amount of improv work I probably don't use it as much as some quilters do. I've been slowly collecting the dies so it is nice to have them available if I need them. It's great if you like doing rag quilts because it clips the blocks before you piece them. It's wonderful for quarter circles or triangles etc.
I think it depends on what type of quilting you do....I hope that helps.
Are the striped fabrics from Oakshott too? I did not see them on their website.
ReplyDeleteThese stripes are by Kaffe Fassett, but Oakshott does also have stripes. I just happened to have these particular ones on hand. Did I mention I have a huge stash!!
DeleteI wanna be you when I grow up.
