April 2022 Sew Day Design Wall<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finished cutting out the Friesan pouch at Sew Day and had an hour until it was over. I could have left, but instead Mary C and I decided to work together to make another donation quilt top in an hour. It was a charity Sew Day after all and both of us had been working on our own projects.<\/p>\n

We used some fabric from one of the first retreats that had been sewn together into a block of rectangles. It was not very attractive.<\/p>\n

The first thing we did was to cut it in half and they cut the halves on the diagonal so we could insert some strips and break up the parts that were unattractive.<\/p>\n

Mary C had some strips and strips sets leftover from a quilt she had just finished that we ransacked to make the improvements.<\/p>\n

I selected some grey from the abundance of solids that Peggy has and we used that color to fill in other places.<\/p>\n

Adding the seafoam green strips REALLY helped that rectangle go from unattractive to attractive. The addition also lightened up the piece.<\/p>\n

To make the two halves large enough, we added the strip set and sewed the pieces together.<\/p>\n
