I pre-cut the borders and drew the shapes free-hand with pencil. First two folk art - then two kuba - then another folk art, then another kuba. until I filled the border cloth. I also added two or three dots in between each turn.<br />So there was really no plan - it was very intuitive and playful. Just the borders were appliqued and then stitched around a blank central square.<br /><br />I basted velvet squares of cloth so that more than one shape was included in the same colour, again taking turns between the grey, tan and the reds. I made sure that each border had a fair amount of red.<br /><br />Once the applique was completed, I drew in more dots here and there to fill the empty space, and used the scraps of velvet to complete them. <br />It was all a game...all very fun and carefree, and yet very slow and methodical at the same time.<br /><br />The texture of this baby quilt is beautiful.<br />Thanks for all comments. love you <br />xoxo<br />Judy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-54752172025697191682018-05-04T07:47:37.073-04:002018-05-04T07:47:37.073-04:00A precious legacy in cloth and words.A precious legacy in cloth and words.Roxannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06965433257215362483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-31451290244656357372018-05-03T17:30:21.815-04:002018-05-03T17:30:21.815-04:00Your images are always so inspiring to me.
