Thanks for sharing - I thought I had seen every quilt book out there. I think this is really cool and will have to look for that book.

the 'slivers' being cut on a diagonal does not create any *usual* bias edge issues- you cut rectangles, then cut them from bottom right to top left, fold them in half- wrong sides together and insert the raw edges into the fold of your background fabric & sew a seam---so nothing bias--- just simple straight stitches- if you can press a straight fold you can easily make sliver quilt blocks- they are really a simple block.

I read that title too fast. I thought it was silver. Looks interesting though.

Interesting red and black quilt. I like it! This sounds like a fun technique to try.

Thanks, now it makes sense...just cut diagonally to get the wide to narrow piece...gotcha!
