As you fly over the midwest, you can see a patchwork of farmland, roads, and rivers creating right angles and natural curves across the earth. Perhaps that’s why I enjoy this photo so much, it reminds me of the mixture of manmade and natural shapes. The weathered run off from the rivets just adds a little pizazz too.
Playing with linen and cotton to make random sized chevrons. Details blogged:

This was a test to see if I could make a crazy patchwork cushion from odds and ends of vintage hand embroidered fabrics.
It's not usually my style but I loved having a go.
30cm square - 12"
My son brought me my sewing machine and a lot of fabrics samples and scraps.

Okay so I have that fabric and I love making coasters and I have a patchwork foot so I will probably attempt these first
I’m making a Swoon quilt with only one super big block (80” x 80” + border). It’s for a gift for one of my best friends and purple is her favorite color. I wanted to use this fabrics I bought ages ago which I loved at the moment but I’m not so in love right now.
I wanted to make it scrappy just like Katy/Ginger Monkey has done in hers (that would allow me to use all the different fabrics) and because I really loved her blocks.
Last night I laid it over the bed and didn’t like it very much. Too loud/busy? Too many different fabrics that don’t match? Perhaps I’m already fed up with the fabrics?
I thought perhaps I should unsew some HST and try to get each flame/ray in just one kind of fabric…
What do you think? Do you like it as it is? Is it horrible and should unsew?
Thanks for your help/comments.
A patchwork quilt for my little sister... I'm halfway done quilting it and I'm hoping to have this and another one done before I leave on Monday. The "Don't Disturb" sign is up in my studio!
Five hours of quilting straight lines - DONE!
Very pleased with the thing so far. I used a variegated 100% cotton thread that went from dark red to pale pink, which I think is really effective on this particular quilt.
I was so excited to receive this stunning mini from Pattiann. Freshley Squeezed in tangy citrus colours. Absolutely love it. Pattiann has done a stunning job with this, looks even better in real life. Love the shadow quilting too.
