Still playing with Charley



It's growing slowly: I have a load of separate chunks made.  Some will make it into the quilt, some will probably be taken to pieces, or chopped up and made into different blocks.

Thank you. I was SO excited when I found out someone had made his stuff into fabric!

These are looking great. If I understand your process correctly, you are making various 'chunks' of a quilt and then arranging them together later. Some may make the quilt while others may not. I think this sounds like a great way to play with the colors, fabrics and piecing options. I choose to move towards play and away from planning. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks :-)

That's it exactly. Once I've got some chunks, like the top picture, that I'm happy with I start to think about how to pull them all together. Sometimes that's easy, sometimes I get stuck there for a while (that's where the discarding/mad chopping and reworking comes in). I plan to keep posting as this one grows. I'm glad you came back to look - thanks.

Thank you. It was pretty easy but looks good, I think.
