Hi all,
I am in the process of designing a pictorial quilt/wall-hanging for a row by row challenge I have entered into & am wondering if it is possible to combine techniques for the overall design.
So ... I have to use several blocks listed on the entry form (incl house; snails trail etc & others) as well as any other blocks I wish to add, & am using these to make a pictorial design - I am still doing them in sort-of-rows, but into a picture overall.
I don't want to say too much in case one of my friends also Googles the block details & sees my idea
but I am wondering if other forum members have combined techniques in a whole quilt & use, just for example, foundation piecing for one section, regular block piecing somewhere else, maybe applique too.
My gut feeling is yes, but there are quite a few variables in the quilt & am still considering if I also add in some 3-D effects too & use some fabric art features too.
Thinking out loud here, but am keen to hear ideas. It has to be my own work totally, so am careful too not to use anything remotely the same as I have seen, just playing with my paper design & trying to get it to work with the fabric & pull it all together.
Many thanks
