HI, I'm working on a 3 section landscape quilt of an ocean sunset. the top section is the sky as the sun sets. I'd like to create graduated color from the top to the bottom of the section in a series of oranges and reds. I have several fabrics. the distance is approx. 10" from top to bottom. I'd like to use relatively small strips to make the progression (3/8 - 3/4 inch) but sew them together in an irregular fashion, such that there is a shimmery quality and there is variation in width across the strips.
The closest I've seen online are the quilts of Denise Labadie, see the amazing Standing stones quilts at
http://www.labadiefiberart.com/Galle...ng_Stones.html
does anyone have any hints on how to do this? I'm good at making the strips even, but not so clear about how to make irregular strips.
thanks for any leads or suggestions>
