fractured quilt

Working on two.............. from Exuberant Color

Yesterday afternoon I sewed one more Fractured block, bottom right. When I get all 20 blocks sewn, maybe the ones with the darker backgrounds will end up on the edges of the layout.

Then I cleaned off my cabinet so I could sew the binding on the Kaffe Zipper quilt.

I started sewing on the binding in the late afternoon and then decided to go to the grocery store before it got dark. I got home in time to pick some more tomatoes.

I finished the binding at 10 p.m. You can see I went with the wild fabric ...

Keeping busy......................... from Exuberant Color

I trimmed the Kaffe Zipper quilt yesterday. I like the straight line quilting on it, quilted by longarm quilter Robin Diaz.

Since the edge of the quilt has the lightest and the darkest fabrics, I'm not sure what I will choose for the binding.

Last night while watching TV I did some sorting. The triangles are Marcia Derse fabrics. When I discovered the tray I noticed it had all dark fabrics and some already sewn triangle pairs so I cut some new light ones for variety. I'll use this as one of my mindless sewing sessions now that ...

Cutting some pieces................ from Exuberant Color

I thought I was cutting enough for a block but obviously I only cut 6 pieces instead of 9 alike. The pieces are 6" tall so they are way bigger than the ones in the original Fractured quilts. That means 3 blocks across is 54" and 4 across is 72".

That made me wonder if I would rather have one background fabric per block and 9 different colors per block. I think this is the way to go. I'll be doing more cutting today. The new fall shows are starting this week and I need TV sewing.

Still thinking.............. from Exuberant Color

I spent a large part of the day yesterday gathering and packing things to take to the thrift shop in town. What was on my mind though was still these fabrics. I divided them by dark and light last night to check out an idea.

I thought maybe I would like to make another quilt similar to this one that I made in 2013. In this one the angle is different in each block but I have a die for the block which would make them all the same angle. I was thinking about cutting out a few pieces yesterday ...
