Round 1, triangles. Let me start by saying this is my first Round Robin. Ever. I decided to start this quilt with my newly acquired skill of invisible machine applique. So I started with rounded organic shapes. But when the call came for triangles, I was somewhat stumped. Triangles are straight three sided shapes with POINTS. How could I do that using invisible machine applique? Reverse applique? I changed to machine piecing for Round 1, what liberated this round was not drafting it and not paper piecing it. I just cut random triangles (and a few other shapes), then added some stripes for motion. Sort of a quilt as you go theme, it certainly woke up my imagination. I could have fiddled on and on changing one more shape to become a triangle, but I liked the way it looked. So I stopped fiddling. I am ready for the next round. ps. modified 6/2 to change the Round to #1!!! Now I will be on the same "page" as everyone else.....
Your RR is so interesting and creative. It shows how liberating it can be to sew with liberated patchwork techniques. Great!
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice for your 2nd round! It accents the center block perfectly.
ReplyDeleteGreat beginnings. Look Forward to seeing how this quilt will progress.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love it! Great job, Judy!
ReplyDeleteJudy - It really works that you expanded the center by using the same colors/fabrics. This was a very creative way to put the triangles in! I wonder what you will do with the row to be posted on June 10th? : ) June
