\"Rainbow<\/a>
Rainbow Strips – Amy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Remember when I talked about Sew Day? I mentioned a future donation quilt<\/a> (no progress yet). I talked about some Sew Day Improv<\/a> I worked on with Tim and Mary to create a quilt that would keep someone warm and comfy. I also talked about basting La Pass Month 10<\/a>. What I didn’t talk about -yet- was Amy’s amazing rainbow quilt.<\/p>\n

The first thing I saw was the line of strip stacks laid out on two long tables.<\/p>\n

As the day progressed, I began to see the piece take shape. Amy struggled with not having a complete set of colors\/shades\/tones to make a smooth transition between colors. She was determined to make it work. I could sympathize after working with the various Fabric of the Year quilts<\/a>. Unlike painting, generally we work with certain fabric prints and can’t alter them (yes, I know there is fabric painting and dyeing, but you know what I mean) like painters can on the fly.<\/p>\n

\"Amy's<\/a>
Amy’s Rainbow – 2d draft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The piece progressed well, I think. There was a lot of moving around of strips and a lot of people got involved.<\/p>\n

Amy wasn’t super picky that everything flowed into one another. I think the rest of us were more invested in the outcome than she was.<\/p>\n

Amy is cleaning out her workroom and I think this was a set of Allison Glass strips she wanted to use. I didn’t hear what her plans were for the final piece.<\/p>\n

\"Amy's<\/a>
Amy’s Rainbow – near final<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I did not get a picture of the final piece. This is close, though, to the final layout.<\/p>\n

Maria helped Amy sew, so the piece could get finished by the end of Sew Day.<\/p>\n

The piece is cheerful, regardless.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
