Improv ~ Stripes ~ End Of Week
for the
Day 5 of Stripes Week called for incorporating negative space as a design element.
I pulled this 10" square from a different layer cake by Gingiber.
Then I pulled some cutoff strips from my scrap basket.
After I cut and sewed my first improv, this little kitty came to supervise and help.
Do you know which little kitty is giving her paw of approval?
Here is another clue.
It is Maestro!
For those of you who read my kitty stories, you will know that Maestro has had few trips to the vets this summer. This is actually the first time she has jumped up on the table to help me sew in weeks.
I am sew happy she is feeling playful again.
This is the block that Maestro and I made together.
After that I played some more with my scraps.
Which resulted in this scrappy improv block.
Then there were 7 blocks.
Then I went back to my machine to use up as many of the scrap strips as I could to make a long strip to add to the strip section of my quilt.
I am happy with this week of improv sewing and am looking to the new prompt for the week in my Sunday emails.
Time to work on my Bats & Boos Pumpkin blocks.
What are you planning to work on this weekend?
Have a happy quilty time!
