Way to go. You did super. Always good to try new things. BrendaK

All are beautiful. Good to try new things, although I don't.

Great projects! They are all beautiful! I love that fracture technique! Interesting.

Ginger K what is the difference between the fracturing technique and the chenille technique? I just bought some small panels in preparation for doing a large panel with the chenille technique. Also did you use a chenille cutter? Great job!!

very nicely done!!!

Quiltingshorttimer, there is a book by Brenda Esslinger and I think there are also some Ytube videos. I learned from a friend who took a class thru our Guild. I would definitely recommend starting with a smaller project. I had to mark extra reference lines and actually sometimes just flew by the seat of my pants because I could not remember which way was UP.

Nesie, I used 3 duplicates of the print and two layers of backing. So it went first layer face down and then all the others face up. I read a few tutes online and used some 505 spray plus flat head pins to hold everything in place. I decided for this project, that finished at about 8 inches square, to sew my seams 3/8 inch apart. I marked a single diagonal line, sewed along it and then continued to sew lines using my machine foot as a guide (good thing it measured 3/8 inch!!) I do not have a chenille cutter but used a sharp pointed scissors and was very careful to ONLY CUT the three top layers. I am planning on investing in a cutter because I would like to try this technique again on a larger project.

Also, if I do more hot pads, I think I would put a layer of batting between the bottom fabric and next layer.

very impressive. I like your results.

You did a great job.

Thank you for sharing your projects, this is a new to me technique and looks fascinating. I see that Brenda has two books out first one Fabulous Fractures then the second one Fractured Frenzy. Which one would you recommend? I really like your table runner.

Sorry Roserips, can't recommend either book. I used a set of instructions my friend jotted down when she took the class.

Nesie I did not answer your question. I explained how I chenilled the piece but the fractured table runner is cut into many strips, resewn and cut and resewn again. I think chenilling is easier.
