I have been wanting to try the curved piecing and that is part of this month's
Art Quilt Workbook---innovative piecing. So I drew off the moose and pulled out the fabrics for the background. I chose 2 blue fabrics for the background, and a blue-green for the ground. I couldn't have the moose walking in air! First exercise is using curved piecing. With the curved piecing method described in the book, you can end up with 2 blocks with the opposite color placement. This is the one I liked best because the light seems to shining on him. He will eventually become part of a Alaska travel quilt. I absolutely love him....our purple moose.
I have an idea for the other exercise that uses insert strips, so that will be next week's project. But for the theme project, I am at a loss right now as to what I will use. Hope inspiration hits soon.
Insight:
Curved piecing---gentle curves--are not hard to do. And I can draw a moose!
Happy Stitching...
Good choice to put the moose on the ground and not walking in the air. On the other hand, a moose that could walk on air ... awesome.
ReplyDeleteI like it.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I were looking for a moose design to quilt for our motorhome. Found yours. Finished yesterday. Aside from my quilting workmanship skills, (2nd attempt) the quilt is perfect! We especially like the simplicity - 3 colors, and boldness of Mr. Moose. I engaged my Brother Innovis 80 sewing machine to do the quilting.
