mfay think I answered that question earlier but if this isn't clear just PM me and I will try. I cut strips for the sky. different sizes and widths. sewed them to add up to 12.5 inches each square then sewed the squares together. the sun was a hit or miss (more miss this round I think) and just added color to make the idea of sunshine over water. each block I checked against the new one as I was sewing it so different sizes hit each other not the same 1.5 to a 1.5 inch strip from the previous round.. no pattern. just playing with colors. I am no where near as good as say koriana ? in her design process. I went off this book I once had on wall hangings that were using quilt fabric but all was fused? cant think of the name right now came out about 12 yrs ago plus minus. I made the cowboy quilt doing the drawing of the design first (based on a card I had received and liked). I drew background, next level and so on til I got to the forefront. then I drew the plants and horses and such and did this on muslim fabric with a pencil. then I just snippet the picture together. that's it! it was called snippet quilts or snippet wall hangings! tada! this was the basis for this current quilt. all quilted but similar concept. just a lot harder as its not all fused together. I trust that not too much and sure don't think I would like to try to stitch all those seams! lazy again. sigh hanging head. too tired. not hanging head over that cant do much to fix that. speaking of which time for clinic again. decided the next section will be a combination of squares and strips so its similar but slightly different
. at least I am on the next stage of cutting and sewing! will share when I get some progress. wish me luck. think the applique over will help and the round robin traditional all around it will modernize it and traditionalize it all at once. hey are those words? lol they are now!
