When Frank had all those points from his sales awards, I thought they were better spent on quilt books rather than those silly B Sci-Fi movies like The Creature From The Planet Zorgon.
And Cultural Fusion was one of them I chose. Since then I have seen so many of the modern (and not so modern) quilts make fabulous quilts from this book. I was so jealous they were having such a good time in Sew Alongs with Sujata herself, that I thought I would at least try some on my own.
So if you have the book, and want to do a Sew Along, LETS GO!
Here are two blocks from the book.
This one is simply a ton of scraps from my existing (and never ending) scrap boxes. I paired up dark and light and made a kit to take with me to retreat.
This one is from garments I purchased for 99 cents at The Purple Cow. The stripes were crop pants and the leafy things was a linen shirt. the beige was a sofa fabric sample that softened after it was washed. And discolored a bit as well to make some soft shadings. Now I need to dig through Frank's pants and,
YES........
I will make sure he understands THIS time that I will CUT THEM UP!
I won't do THAT again! LOL But it was really funny to see the look on his face!

I like that first scrap one. It's the cover quilt, right? Each block can be different scraps but as long as you follow the light dark being the same throughout - it works!
ReplyDeleteI've been admiring that book for a while too and finally bought it last week. I'm ready to try at least a block or two, and maybe it'll be like potato chips and I won't be able to stop.
ReplyDeleteI have been hoping the library would get this book, but they haven't yet. I like your blocks!
ReplyDeleteDo you know about the Cultural Fusion blog? Lots of us are sharing our projects there - and there's a rail fence QAL, too.
ReplyDeleteI'm hopelessly hooked.
