What Have I Done?
A wallhanging? Me? No way.
I've always thought of quilts as treasures for wrapping around and comforting. I've never particularly understood art quilts or had any enthusiasm for a modern, contemporary sort of abstract. Nope. Not me. You all just carry on and I'll cheer you on but the concepts escape me. I made a string quilt. Began with square muslin blocks. Laid a red strip on the diagonal and wandered off with warm colors in one direction and blues/cools in the other. Just using scraps. Diminishing the scrap bin. That's all. Put it on the design wall. It's wonderful. It's gorgeous. I can Not bring me to continue to turn it into a bed cover. It needs its own wall just for being admired, considered, thought about. I have created a wall hanging. Now what do I do? I'm not in Kansas anymore. Polly |

Silly question! Hang it on a wall, of course. And take some photos so we
can all see it. After you quilt and bind it. Most of all, enjoy it. Julia in MN Polly Esther wrote: A wallhanging? Me? No way.

Nice shot, Maureen. You're getting as good as the best here.
What this WH calls for is a beautiful staircase like the one in Carol Doak's cd on paperpiecing. We don't have a 2nd story, hardly even have an attic. Wonder if DH could be persuaded that I really need a staircase? Polly "Maureen Wozniak" wrote I'm sure I could find it a home if you absolutely don't have any walls at all in your house. |

Welcome to the dark side, Polly! It sounds wonderful. This sounds like a
"heartstrings" variation. It's on my "to do" list for scrap busting too. -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... A wallhanging? Me?

What do you do now? Make it large enough to wrap around yourself (or someone else), stick a hanging sleeve on the back, and enjoy the best of both worlds -- you can hang it when you want to look, you can wrap up in it when you prefer that. -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sw.foster1 (at) gmail (dot) com (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |
