Next Step on Improv Solids

It looks like this is going to be a center medallion after all. I really like the sawtooth border on it.
Maybe a border of piano keys will come next (below), then another sawtooth border?

This time of year colors look especially delicious. I hope you're having a delightfully quilty day.

The spikey border is really an eye catcher. Colors are great too.

Love it!

I love the stream of consciousness feeling it has.

I recently bought the books Liberated Quiltmaking II and Rule Breaking Quilts. I can't wait to dome playing like that!

Love the floating look - really sets it off. Can't wait to see it finished.

Jan said...

You have great color sense, and I love seeing each step as you progress - although this looks finished as is, to me!

Wow. That's better than candy! :-)

Wonderful block. The spiky saw tooth border is traditional yet unexpected. Creates lots of energy.

Two of my favorite things, solid and points!

Well.....chocolate, dogs, quilts, pecan pie, bread pudding, corn casserole, flying horses, meerkats......etc.

glen: most of them involved food, did you notice that?

This quilt resembles your last one, but it plays a different tune! It is such fun to see you play!

Heh - I don't like modern (i.e. non-traditional) quilts generally, but I like this one a lot!

Then again, I don't like modern art generally, but I really like Mondrian. Perhaps it's the mass of solids that does it for me.
