Tonight, I got so carried away cutting curves and rearranging them in blocks, that I ran out of time to technically finish the quilt by stitching. But, I think three quiltlet tops trumps one completed quiltlet.
These are all silk and fused. They are about 15 inches square.
Again, the problem of photographing at night makes the colors off and the images a little blurry, but when the quilting is done, I will retake the photos.
For this project I cut 9 inch squares of fused silk. I layered 4 at a time and cut curved pieces. Then assembled them and fused to batting in a grid pattern. I am looking forward to quilting these. I have had in mind, for awhile, a large quilt with larger blocks using a curved pattern.
On another note, I managed to get my available memory on the Mac from 5 + GB to 9+ GB and successfully installed Microsoft Office. Now I have to order Tiger. I MUST maintain my photo and graphic files every week.
Diane stopped by today and found out what chaos I am working in with my marathon quilting, but I must say that I am extremely content and stress free. I’ll clean the place up when the week is over.
Oh, what an inspiring technique! As you can see on my brand new blog, I have tried my hand at this cut-and-paste play…
I enjoy your blog a lot. Thanks.
You and your quilts du jour are giving me an inferiority complex! Love the fused silk and what you are doing. I envy your time and ‘stress free’ feelings. Cool stuff.

I want to see it when it’s done!
I especially like the top one. Very whirl-pool-ish! (I mean whirlpool as in natural phenom, not as in Jacuzzi [grins])
These are great. I really admire your quiltlet-a-day program and I want to copy you (they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!), but I’ll probably have to wait until the kids go back to school. As teenagers (15 and 16) they’re very independent, but I’m more aware of how soon they’ll be gone so I want to spend as much time with them as they allow. Thanks for the inspiration!
You are amazing…what a great exercise: a quilt a day and how well your results are..keep it up. Glad to hear your ‘puter problems are solved.
mmmm, very dreamy like a meditation for me when i look at them — so peaceful… i love ’em…
Wow! I love these! Can’t wait to see them all together. You are being sooooooo productive! A quilt a day…fun and challenging. I wish there was nothing else to do but that.
