Fractured Quilt Wall Hangings... What do you think about them?
 

These are two fractured quilt wall hangings I just finished making. Instead of simply adding borders or binding to the squared up quilts, I decided to live dangerously and cut wavy edges with my rotary cutter instead. I tried two different methods of adding the backing/bindings. On the Poppy Quilt I put the backing face down on the top before making the wavy cuts. Sewed all but a small section around the edges and then turned it inside out to get a non-binding look. On the Sunflower Quilt I used bias binding to add contrast and highlight the sunflower. How do you think they look? [ATTACH=CONFIG]294351[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]294352[/ATTACH]

Awesome awesome awesome!!!!!!!!

they are absolutely beautiful. i love them! Barny

WOW! Wonderful work!!

WOW!!! Your wall hangings take my breath away!!

They are breathe taking

What wonderful wall hangings. I love how you did the edges! Can you tell us more about the fractured technic?

WOW!! and WOW!!

Wow Oh Wow, fabulous I love them.

super beautiful !!!! :)

Your wallhangings are simply gorgeous!

What a wonderful choice to do that with. It looks awesome

Welcome to the forum, your work is stunning!

I love them!! I recently purchased the book on how to do them, so that is one more thing on my wish list of things to do.

Very pretty! A friend gave me some fabric that looks justlike that. She had some in poppies, some in iris's, and I think there was also some in sunflowers. I am taking the poppy and cutting it out to put on another fabric and then "thread painting" it. That fabric was so very nice...loved the look and feel of it which I would say was real quality fabric. My friend has done some gorgeous work with fabric like that....very artistic. Sure mine won't be as gorgeous as hers but I will have fun with it. TYhere is a blue iris which she also gave me that I love but thought I should first practice on one I wasn't as crazy about. Funh to try different forms of creativity with fabrics.

Oh my goodness. These are show stoppers. How creative and beautiful

The wavy border looks great. I like each of your edge finishes.

WOW, oh WOW!!! Pattern? Tute? PLEASE!

Cannot wait to see your quilt. I'm always interested in learning/seeing a new way to do something. I've never tried thread painting. Its on my list of things to try soon.

Beautiful. I love both of them. You do outstanding work

Lowell ;)

takes my breath away as well. These are beautiful. I can't think of a word that does them justice. Thank you for sharing.

To do this type of project, it takes 4 panels of the same size/subject. I learned to do this at a class I took at a quilt shop near me. It's not hard to do but it does require absolutely accurately cut strips. Had a great time making both. I'm now working on a new project using smaller fractured blocks.

Stunning, I love them:thumbup:

Both are stunning! I don't think I've ever seen a fractured quilt before - amazing!

Ditto on the "WOW's"! These quilts are full of great movement and color and fabulous to look at!

I am so impressed! I've never seen anything like them. Can you give some more info re patterns?

I think they are beautiful, great job and very creative.

Welcome from outside St. Louis.

Yours are spectacular. I have seen others that were not so exciting. Very nice job!

Ooooohhhhh So fabulous!

Very clever. Love the neat fabric.

These are beautiful. Tell us more about the technique or where we could get more info.

those are unusual and most beautiful!

Totally awesome! I especially like the sunflower one. I have made two of these, one with koi and one with flowers, I really like the effect.

Wow are they beautiful. Wavy looks great. You did a great job on them.

Oh my! Awesome!

Just beautiful! I did a table runner today using the inside out method. (I ran out of binding material) Oh if I had only seen what you did with the waves. You are inspiring.

soooo cool

Totally awesome!
