I had to look back to 2017 to find the post where I first showed this little idea. I talked about no matter how much fabric you own, it is always fun to play with somebody else's scraps.
Here is my inspiration - seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Did I make a note of the artist's name? NO. Could I find it on their website scrolling through hundreds of works of art? NO.
This is the basket of "somebody else's scraps" that I began with.
I cut strips more or less straight, of a variety of widths.
I made strip sets.
I cut squares and played around.
Somewhere along the line I added borders, layered, basted and began to big stitch quilt with orange and red pearl cotton. Then it was forgotten …..
It was unearthed the other day, along with the little spiral that I finished up last week. Here it is, ta da!!!!
It's another little one, just 15" x 19 1/2". But it is so much fun to play with different ideas and different colors!
