Sliver Quilts
I bought the book, SLIVER QUILTS, by Lisa O'Neill, about a year ago. However, I've yet to tackle a sliver quilt. Has anyone else every made one? I think that they're absolutely gorgeous and I love the dimensional effect, as well as the visual. How hard was this quilt to make?
Thanks, Cindy

I have the book, have made many of the blocks to use in borders or other areas of a quilt...they are not difficult! in fact quite easy- and the results are terrific! I love these. I will have to see if I can find pictures of some of the blocks I've made- I used a black with stunning deep red for the slivers- they are WOW! jump in & play---they really are easy- and once you start your mind will go crazy with ideas to use this technique!

Well, the sliver technique certainly produces amazing quilts....I would like to have a try...but I don't think my skills are advanced enough. Thanks for starting this thread. Will definitely be learning more when I have some spare time.

Read the slivers are cut on diagonal.. That would mean bias, right? Why? Interesting, maybe someday just as a challenge or to do something a bit different. Btw, read the little blurb in the first site listed above...kvetched! Really now, some people just want praise all the time....poor baby!

I don't think that the sliver method is all that challenging. It just looks it. She folds the fabrics and inserts them into the block, so there aren't a lot of tiny pieces to have to sew. It's a really interesting technique. A sliver quilt is on my list...my very long list...LOL.
