I'm still just playing around with the slivers....I thought I'd just try out a QAYG (stitch and flip) block, before committing to a full fledged project.
I'm working on some "improv" blocks and wanted to insert some narrow "slivers" into the blocks - but slicing the block, inserting a narrow strip, then pressing everything is a huge pain. The blocks are NOT wanting to lay flat because of all the seams on the reverse.
Maybe this is the solution that I'm looking for - I've ordered the book and will report back!
Thanks for bringing it to my attention! (BTW, the circle in your previous post is SO cool!)
Love these slivers ideas. Checked out your post yesterday, checked out the book and then I snuck into my sewing room and slivered around for a bit unsupervised. I'm now a bit of a slivery woman, myself ;)
I have been reading and enjoying your blog for a while. Your use of color and pattern in fabric as well as your techniques are fabulous. I wish you could get a commission on this new book as one more was sold last night after I read your entry and after I realized your site is the only one showing a little bit of the process. Not even the author shows anything about it on her site: What a shame! I am doing the BOM for my guild this year and I chose the folded fabric theme (3 dimensional) and this new twist fits right in. Thanks again. Annick annick5424 at gmail dot com
Because of this awesome piece, I downloaded the book from Google Books for around $9-$10.00 (great deal). One thing about Google books though, you cant download them to your computer, but can to a device or read online. (not afilitated--I wish!)
Anyway. This book IS awesome. Thanks for showing us how you used the sliver technique. I need to get some colourshot fabric...
