Oops!

This quilt is titled "Oops!".  I had intended to submit it to one of the challenge categories at QuiltCon but I used the wrong brand of solids.  It's too bad because I'm quite happy (and surprised) with the results.


The challenge provided fat eigths of the black and white fabrics.  I added the aqua and coral solids.  I cut the strips without a ruler in random widths.  I chose the order of the fabrics (mostly) at random.



The quilting starts at the middle and spirals outward following the lines of the fabric.


I used up the scraps on the back.

This is my first quilt that feels truly improv and I'm quite proud!

    1. Thanks Kris! I was about 80% done with the top when I realized my mistake. I didn't have the energy to pull it all apart and start over!

  3. Great improv, I like how the blue makes the points look disconnected, that's cool!

    1. Thanks Judy! I was surprised at how much thought "random" placement took!
