On my design wall …
I’m taking on another challenge to use specific fabric to make a quilt that depicts CELEBRATION. I decided to use a technique by Marilyn Doheney that I learned in a class that I took HERE.
First I sewed together strips of the challenge fabric to make a strata.
Then, using Marilyn’s ruler, I cut the strips into wedges.
I took those wedges and sewed some of them together making a ‘fan’ that I’m hoping will look like fireworks.
Another strata and more wedges produced more design possibilities.
And Amy’s cat Clyde just happened to walk by at the most opportune time!

That's really cool! I am not familiar with that technique. Can you elaborate on the ruler?
That is very cool! Love the way it's looking.
I really like these! Any chance you will use black as a background? The colors really POP off the black...
Clyde's expression says it all
I love that! Very colorful. You and your sisters are so creative!

That's great - love the idea of using strata to make the Dresden plate shapes!
