There won&#8217;t be much of a foreground, however, as my idea is to use the 3,000 yards of bias tape I made in the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/mighty-lucky-january-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">January Challenge for the Mighty Lucky Quilting Club<\/a>. My original idea was to applique a small strip to each rectangle at a different angle, then sew the rectangles together. The other night as I was going to sleep, I thought about sewing the bias tape to the quilt as one long piece in large arcs or swirls. I am eager to sew the rectangles together, but the new idea would mean maneuvering the large top around my sewing table rather than the smaller rectangles. I&#8217;ll get the red bias tape out and see what I think.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This quilt does not yet have a name.
