Just For Fun

This is my One Thousandth Post here on this blog!  Pretty amazing.  I really appreciate that you've all been along for the ride.  I love blogging and look forward to keeping at it for the duration.

The winner of the giveaway quilt is ~ Kristin Freeman, number 25 of the 29 entries received.  Congrats Kristin -- send me your snail mail address and your quilt will be on its way early next week.

So, about this quilt ~ in preparation for the latest Fiberactions challenge I wanted to try my hand at slice-and-dice type quilts.  This was a test to see if I like the technique.  I had no old quilt blocks to chop up, so I started by putting together a big piece of aqua and purple strips.  Then I cut that up, added black and white fabrics, cut again, etc.  I had enough of the original cloth of strips that I have two finished quilts, each 18 inches square.  This one is quilted with teal thread, the other with magenta.

I do like the technique and have plans for other quilts with modifications in the process.  I normally do raw edge piecing and applique, so all these finished seams were actually a treat. 

Have a wonderful Friday -- it's raining here on the North Coast today.  I'll be back this weekend with a new collage.
