This is a continuation of two previous posts about the making of the improv quilt from ombre leftovers.
I got the interesting idea to insert little pieces of fabric between the rows of the background ombre fabric. I did a sample with 3/4" wide striped fabric and cut at 1-1/2" long, 2" long, and 3" long. I like the longer one the best. It was a little tricky to make them but I think that the effect will be interesting in the quilt.
I ran out of the first piece of ombre fabric in the darker turquoise area and had to use my second piece of ombre fabric that went from turquoise to orange. I cut strips to match the widths of the vertical rows, and then 3" wide pieces for a border that really enhances the ombre effect. This was just all pinned to the design board at this point, but it's worth showing you my ideas.
And I just can't help but show you a cartoon from Pickles by Brian Crane on October 25, 2024 that I thought was SO funny.
Anyway, hope you get a few giggles and like where the quilt is going so far!
