Now I really get the popularity of these projects over the last few years.<br /> <p></p>Julie Zaccone Stillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03989160137566852346noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877860.post-77947916184731875922024-03-11T08:00:00.000-07:002024-03-11T08:00:00.142-07:00Peach Fuzz<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYIO5Gi-hpTwzxc7m4DuV_iOK62MlM2owwfnTQ7IbWZ_ww3fHRAbo1hSr9Eys1SEZHUSyz8AZTRFoIZSADB67CP18m675W_pf-y0JKCiPceXF_piQ_waZUKWUDo9XFK4-YY1XqEy-c0NWz3ftq9AJxN_ME1bBwOUgqJqlsXz1OY_gceYidphI/s300/mar-simpledesign.png.webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="300" data-original-width="300" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYIO5Gi-hpTwzxc7m4DuV_iOK62MlM2owwfnTQ7IbWZ_ww3fHRAbo1hSr9Eys1SEZHUSyz8AZTRFoIZSADB67CP18m675W_pf-y0JKCiPceXF_piQ_waZUKWUDo9XFK4-YY1XqEy-c0NWz3ftq9AJxN_ME1bBwOUgqJqlsXz1OY_gceYidphI/s1600/mar-simpledesign.png.webp" width="300" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This month's Electric Quilt design challenge is using the paper pieced flying geese block, <a href="https://doyoueq.com/blog/2024/03/eq8-block-spotlight-simple-design/comment-page-1/#comment-62898">Simple Design</a>. I don't always do these, but it's fun to give them a try just to keep my EQ8 skills alive and in my mind. It's fun to try and use a block that you normally wouldn't choose. Paper-pieced flying geese?

This is a rather unlikely color for me to choose to use in such a big way, but I kind of like it here. It's warm and sort of soft looking--comfortable. If I were to actually make this quilt, I would be very unlikely to piece the solid color blocks but would instead just use squares of the solid fabric and quilt in the outline of the block design lines.<p></p>Julie Zaccone Stillerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03989160137566852346noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877860.post-81906966255693938592024-03-10T08:00:00.000-07:002024-03-10T08:00:00.145-07:00Wearables: Project Quilting 15.5<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1Ln0oiG2QGZaa7LqVOIx6NQzWWbTxQuz0r0kiRGz3dh9Dun1ShJ4hlxKQZPoJsJXhwmxRthcQA2Ku-jaOHVOp5u7QvLqF6dokRwia-QxXxj65gls466QQlB13OZ8bZ8FeLCJZpAqQSu-mnv7f6SXXIQ_6j9-_9WoyGVzEBXwPtknQiKTVys/s4032/IMG_1468.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2620" data-original-width="4032" height="416" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1Ln0oiG2QGZaa7LqVOIx6NQzWWbTxQuz0r0kiRGz3dh9Dun1ShJ4hlxKQZPoJsJXhwmxRthcQA2Ku-jaOHVOp5u7QvLqF6dokRwia-QxXxj65gls466QQlB13OZ8bZ8FeLCJZpAqQSu-mnv7f6SXXIQ_6j9-_9WoyGVzEBXwPtknQiKTVys/w640-h416/IMG_1468.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>I nearly almost forgot to check out the<a href="https://kimlapacek.com/2024/03/15-5-hourglass-challenge-5-of-project-quilting-season-15.html"> Project Quilting prompt</a> this week. The prompt for 15.5 is Wearables. That means either something to wear, made out of previously worn clothing, or is somehow related to something wearable. I started thinking about this on Wednesday, worked on it and posted <a href="https://highfibercontent.blogspot.com/2024/03/wearable-project-quilting.html">about it Saturday</a>. And finished it in time to submit it on Sunday. I'm covering this blue slap bracelet with a quilt so that I can wear it. I found a nice scraps of stretchy grey knit fabric. I think it is left over from some old pajamas. It's very soft and will feel okay next to my skin.<p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHbO9p4BIQykwf89FgH2DM5Y7PK3NoUxD2cAYZq9ZYvZ657EVg09XKz6dzuVplw0xE0o4o_Ij0L9V__tM8YG3sn8EeTDDW7IhbfSzjSqHWVHCaWHZOh1E_6zWI4NED33wRHG7vIw8U4EYkR-5MOCMuucCc9ky_bwZybLJ5mmC9h9K0U5OWTI/s4032/IMG_1469.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2528" data-original-width="4032" height="402" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDHbO9p4BIQykwf89FgH2DM5Y7PK3NoUxD2cAYZq9ZYvZ657EVg09XKz6dzuVplw0xE0o4o_Ij0L9V__tM8YG3sn8EeTDDW7IhbfSzjSqHWVHCaWHZOh1E_6zWI4NED33wRHG7vIw8U4EYkR-5MOCMuucCc9ky_bwZybLJ5mmC9h9K0U5OWTI/w640-h402/IMG_1469.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><p></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I sewed it up on three size and turned it carefully using the forceps, and pressed out the end.

I knew I didn't feel like making a quilt out of formerly wearable fabric, or making a quilt block of a shirt, or make an entire shirt. My eyes just happened to have landed on the blue slap bracelet I got at last year's BAM retreat in the goody bags we were given. I was on a zoom call when it came to me: I can't wear this slap bracelet because the rubbery plastic feels yucky on my skin. Call me sensitive, yes, yes I am.

I like how well they go together. Now I am much closer to having to actually make the decision on what to use for the long strips that comprise the background of the quilt pattern. With all of the recent dyeing I've been doing, and a lot of it done on yardage instead of on fat quarters, I'm toying with using a lot of those, maybe mixed in with purchased solids. But prints may be the way to go. I'll have to pin some options up with the blocks to see what looks good. Part of my initial attraction to the cover photo quilt is how well the various blocks blend in with the strips so that they don't stand out much at all individually.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilYDb0ED1AmwEFNxGu-HW7qPGY5f34QbNI1J-gjul47JoqVwRyg6BvbjBsKO3wAuL0cBp09ekVpxCuZ_kMB874ne2jNVdUYyTBiNYVRi7S-yPyV1hG-_BXIPro5ekJ-9PiCxaiXg6s5dV_QZDViaB7iOE4UrYm-QzIAqYeAVKyaPvBz0qs4OE/s2937/IMG_1431.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2937" data-original-width="2836" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilYDb0ED1AmwEFNxGu-HW7qPGY5f34QbNI1J-gjul47JoqVwRyg6BvbjBsKO3wAuL0cBp09ekVpxCuZ_kMB874ne2jNVdUYyTBiNYVRi7S-yPyV1hG-_BXIPro5ekJ-9PiCxaiXg6s5dV_QZDViaB7iOE4UrYm-QzIAqYeAVKyaPvBz0qs4OE/w618-h640/IMG_1431.jpeg" width="618" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I laid out all the blocks that I've gotten done so far in approximate spaces for where they go in the quilt and this how it looks.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-YWNIpMu-7I9Rlj3_DNCLV397IZAL0OYphJf1i_zMcQWIUG8u_vFzbVZcwsUymzRu9UTodwcMyIhVAqYscn64dUfrqK9p7oGyrIkyiOtEyranIaXeH44EM8Qkd8UKitg7XWs83mVwIdfAPQP0-eUnIUZ-2959x6Hw6KHGz5xXw0OMem8Q6OI/s4032/IMG_1432.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-YWNIpMu-7I9Rlj3_DNCLV397IZAL0OYphJf1i_zMcQWIUG8u_vFzbVZcwsUymzRu9UTodwcMyIhVAqYscn64dUfrqK9p7oGyrIkyiOtEyranIaXeH44EM8Qkd8UKitg7XWs83mVwIdfAPQP0-eUnIUZ-2959x6Hw6KHGz5xXw0OMem8Q6OI/w480-h640/IMG_1432.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Well...after coloring in the blocks I made, I still have quite a lot more blocks to make.

There are no rules, it's up to each person to make up their own (or not). </p><p>I bought this interesting stuff called <a href="https://www.gypsyquilter.com/category/supplies/TGQ055">Scrap Tape</a> at the Batty Lady booth at <a href="https://highfibercontent.blogspot.com/2022/10/only-one-bag-full.html">PIQF in 2022</a>. It's a 25 yard long, very lightweight, non-woven, wash-a-way interfacing. </p><p></p><p><span style="text-align: center;">The Scrap Tape is 25 yards long, I did the math and that works out to 9" a day for 100 days. </span>My rules are pretty simple:</p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Use scraps from that day's work</li><li>Use scraps from the scrap basket</li><li>Use scraps from the scrap boxes</li><li>Embroider the # of the day out of 100 (either by machine or hand) in that day's section</li><li>Be mindful of the 1/4" seam allowance on either side when piecing.</li><li>Can sew together scraps to make them big enough to use</li><li>Raw edges are okay.</li><li>If I buy new fabric add some to that day's section.</li></ul><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicq3yt5yWAobNTNBO1N9ucgEPe_dWLM7RrvTmUm-rWG78NDetL1DV0gX4luRZ28DJfsHXNnllFaln19tA5oe7MLr5L99yIf1cC_ZH1MlgG5cxHdsWc7yeE6SDteZ4JO9acSjgYv2sMo-Y6sck-KQoHe-5hp0CPr7A0fvQ2e4dYf70pw0ONC7A/s4032/IMG_1388.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicq3yt5yWAobNTNBO1N9ucgEPe_dWLM7RrvTmUm-rWG78NDetL1DV0gX4luRZ28DJfsHXNnllFaln19tA5oe7MLr5L99yIf1cC_ZH1MlgG5cxHdsWc7yeE6SDteZ4JO9acSjgYv2sMo-Y6sck-KQoHe-5hp0CPr7A0fvQ2e4dYf70pw0ONC7A/w640-h480/IMG_1388.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here's my first day's worth of sewing scraps onto the Scrap Tape.
