yli puolet rusettiblokeista valmiina.

-
Tavoitteenani on ommella 143 rusettiblokkia ja ommella niistä isohko tilkkupeittopinta. Ohitin äsken ompelu-urakkani puolivälin ja minulla on nyt koossa 74 tilkkublokkia.

Koska ompelen blokkeja suuresta määrästä hyvin erilaisia kankaita ja aivan satunnaisessa järjestyksessä, ompelueräni blokit eivät aina soinnu toisiinsa täydellisesti.


Silti kuvista näkyy, että tilkkupinnasta on (todennäköisesti) tulossa hauska ja vaihteleva. Ja monivärinen! Olen jättänyt tästä työstä pois ainoastaan vihreän ja harmaan.

Yhdistin viimeisimmistä blokkieristä ottamani kuvat kollaasiksi:

Aikamoiselta näyttää! Näissä blokeissa on vielä sekavamman oloinen kuviovalikoima! Luotan kuitenkin siihen, että saan suuren määrän tilkkublokkeja sommitelluksi johdonmukaiseen järjestykseen.

Sinut tuntien blokit löytävät kyllä oman paikkansa. Hyvää juhannusta!

Splendid colour tips for quilters: All the colours in one quilt

-
Image
Today’s splendid tips topic isn’t just one colour, but all the colours – and all at once. In this post, you will see – again – what matters more for your quilt than colour choices do. You will also get seven tips that help you use a multitude of (or all) colours in your quilt while avoiding a chaotic look. What to watch out for when using many colours? My instant reaction to this question is: “nothing!” Though to be honest, there really are a few things to watch out for. If you make a wild, improvisational, unplanned and multicoloured quilt surface, its viewer may not easily find anything there to focus on. If you put such a quilt on show, most of the audience would be likely to move quickly past it to see the next quilt. Even so, a riotously colourful quilt may be fantastic and lovable as an item meant to be used! For example, the overall rhythm of my Spectrolite quilt is inconsistent because some blocks have a really harsh value contrasts whereas others have very little co...

First finish out of 11: the Early Days quilted zipper bag

-

Yay, it is still possible for me to reach the goal of sewing at least the average number of zipper bags this year! This recent finish, Early Days / Alkutaival is a step towards that goal: This was my starting point, more or less: The panels look underwhelming, don’t they? I found the upper piece amongst my resources (my scrap stash) and for some reason, it has only been partly quilted. I don’t remember why I made it in the first place – though I have a vague recollection that I put the piece together very quickly. But why would I start quilting it and not finish? No idea. Even though I had started the quilting with quite nice-looking stippling, I didn't want to return to my discomfort zone of free-motion quilting. That is why the rest of the quilting on that panel are straight-stitched curves. The other zipper bag panel got one of my favourite designs, intersecting arcs, though the placement of the arcs is different from my usual choice. If you want to know more about th...

A quilter’s praise for the simple square

-
Image
A square is a great shape in quilts. I’m may seem to be stating something obvious because the majority of quilt blocks are square, but this is not the single reason for the square’s greatness. Squares and other straight-edged shapes are easy to handle. In contrast, sewing a flat surface out of curvy shapes is difficult, and thus a great way to show off your sewing skill. One will never be admired for one’s ability to sew squares together! Because quilting is not a competition sport for me, I don’t mind taking things easy. One of the things I love about squares is that when you sew a piece, press and trim it into an exact square, it will be easy to sew together with a similar one and create a flat surface. It takes a bit more time and accurate trimming, but no elite expertise. Just look at these un-pressed, un-trimmed nine-patch pieces and imagine how hard it would be to sew them together like they are here, and avoid the seams turning willy-nilly! Same-sized squares are inter...
