What do you do with your Charley Harper Fabrics?

I have always loved Charley Harper's art and I've recently purchased some fabrics. Now I need to have some ideas of what to do with them. Ideas? Photos?

Thanks!

I totally agree!

We have a free table at my guild and sometimes I can pick up really thin fabric (I like to use white or light) and then I cut it into 12" or 10" squares, whatever I need for my current string...

Are one of the pieces cut on the bias? If so, you might be inadvertently stretching or pushing the fabric so they match up. I would look at all of these tips, as well as the pressure of your foot, it...

So Unique!

Adorable!! I used to make little baskets out of selvedges, and I did make one quilt, but my selvedge collection has grown and grown lately since I haven't used much of it. I Love what you are doing!...

I finally found the pattern source. Sorry this took me so long. Go to Lillyella's website/blog. It's a free paper pieced pattern. Post pics for us if you make it, please.

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.

I should have added that I measure the cut strips first, WOF so for 296" + 20", I would need to cut 7.5 strips. Anyway, seems like a no-brainer, but I think the tip has more to do with the 20" added....

Janome DOES have a stitch regulator.

Not sure where you got your information, but Janome does offer a stitch regulator. However it runs about $500, way too expensive for me. I will try the push button method, though.

I agree that high contrast is needed for that quilt (Outside The Box). I've taken many classes by renowned color experts, Katie Pasquini-Masopust and others. And I've learned to 'see' color better....
