Nice i like them both

Very nice techniques.

Fractures are fun and yours turned out so lovely. The chenille technique is fun too, and your pot holders look great!

Wow, "Fractures" is new to me, too. Thanks for sharing.....it inspired me to look back thru QB for more examples. Another item for my quilt bucket list.

I really like the look of this done on the diagonal!

I found directions for this on a blog somewhere, the hard part is keeping all the strips in order.



I did a fractured quilt using 4 panels. They were cut into 2" strips, two the same and two with the cut offset from the first (first pair cut 2", 2" . . . second cut 1", 2", 2" . . . ) you have to be careful to go wide enough to get differentiation when you sew it back together. I think I went a bit narrow.

Then they are sewing together into two identical panels. Then those two are cut apart the other direction, with one being 2", 2" . . . and the other 1", 2", 2" and then those are sewing together to make one panel.

This is the best picture I have (it's out in the shed waiting to be quilted). I didn't care for how it turned out for the birds, but love it with the flowers.

This is another where I only did the fracture for the border, the center panel is the same.

And thanks for posting. I've not tried chenille, but I have a couple books and have saved magazine ideas. You have inspired me to try.
