Anyone Know this Technique?
 

I saw a quilt recently, (unfortunately, now I can't find it!), and the blocks were made of thin strips of fabric scattered on a background, sort of like pick-up-sticks. The thin strips went every which way and wove under each other.

If anyone knows what I'm talking about, I'd love to know more about the technique.

Thanks, Watson

Try Paul's Block Party Pickup Sticks Quilt on Google to find a tutorial for making such a quilt. Not sure if it is what you are looking for.

I love that contemporary quilt.....and so easy

here's the direct link to it http://paulsblockparty.blogspot.com/...-tutorial.html .

I'm going to give that one a try-even yet tonight. That is really neat. Maybe I will make mine bigger and make it into a pillow top. Thank you, Watson, for asking the question and thank you, QuiltnNan for the link. I am back on the board tonight because I have hit a mental roadblock with my project. That will be better in the morning.

That is a neat pattern, looks like it would be fun. Putting it in the que, lol.

Your description reminds me of this one that MaryKatherine posted, back in the fall ....

Here is a similar one from a book Accent on Angles. I bought the book several months ago just to have the pattern. I still haven't tried it. Dragon Bones...scroll down just a bit.

That first one, pauls block party, looks like it, except there were a LOT more sticks and the designer had cut the block into a circle when she was done and put it on a background. She said in the article she had discovered a new technique to make it go faster.
I wrote the name of the book down, but my husband "cleaned up" and now I can't find the little bit of paper I wrote it on.
I love that Dragon Bones quilt!

I found it! For some reason it just popped into my head.

For the design I'm talking about, if you clickon the title page, it is the third one you see...the circle made of sticks. I just bought the book!

Oops. I put my question in the wrong place. Can you see?--how did she quilt around the sashing and the "sticks"? Did she simply keep going or did she stop and go, leaving those strips unquilted? This is a great pattern but want to know more about how to quilt it.

Illinois, MaryKatherine is a member of this board. She is a lovely talented fiber artist that I was privileged to meet last year. Why not send her a PM with your question?

Circle idea is intriguing. There are a lot of those strips, wonder what the back looks like.....bet is a bit tricky keeping it from pocketing. Let us know how it works........

A couple weeks ago, Fonz & Porter showed a Pick Up Sticks quilt that Marianne had made. It was more like a Tic-Tac-Toe layout of sticks, but some had more than the four sticks to a block. Good luck with your quilt and will be looking forward to a picture when you are finished.

Wow!! That Dragon Bones is awesome...I love the color combo!!

I wasn't sure what you were pointing to, but then clicked on the pics under the book... it's pic 4 of 13... looks neat. but my fave is the one with the mostly plain fabrics and horizontal 'sticks' 3/13.

Thank you for the link. This looks like a fun quilt to make.
