Thanks. I think I most enjoyed the final technique on curving and joining two seams. That opens a lot of possibilities.

I have most of the books shown on this tute and enjoy them. But this presentation of the ideas and techniques is top notch. The colors issue was a breakthrough concept for me and will be my first sewing play when I get home. (Traveling. Didn't take fabrics for this sort of thing when I packed my rv sewing crate.)

Thank you so much for bringing this to our attention. To date I have been experimenting with "made" or "manufactured" fabric. Maybe interesting to combine the ideas. Again, thanks.

This was for me !! I am absolutely sure of it ! In quilting I do not like to rack my brain following directions, match up seams and points, and especially cutting up numerous amounts of measured fabrics etc. I like to free flow and relax while sewing. Thanks so much for posting. I often wondered if I was alone in my quilt thoughts?

It certainly does not follow the "normal" rules of quilting. Glad that it can be anything you want it to be.

Thanks for sharing. Who follows the rules? Learned new ideas from video.

I lived free-of-order yesterday; all day! And it was invigorating. I had a detailed block and process all mapped out, which was very well planned and ready to go. Then I acquired a treadle and wanted to try with this new toy, so I thru caution to the wind (heavily influenced by this link you shared). It is not important to me to have everything exact. I will square up the blocks after and if the insides are a bit off kilter, so be it. It will give it charm and look like it was intended to be that way. I got so much done in between all the house stuff yesterday -- twenty four blocks. Grabbed a b&w square, log cabined around it with colorful strips, and then put a wider strip of another b&w. The only thing measured and cut to start with is the center square; the rest sew, trim, sew, etc., And you know what? I really think this is going to be one of my favorite end projects. I know I am going to proud of it. So much time and stress removed. Thanks for shareing the link.
