August art

On the August long weekend I starting working on a few things.  First of all I took out my Rayna Gillman book called Create Your Own Free-Form Quilts.  In it she teaches how to cut up fabrics and sew them together into strips and then sew the units together into beautiful quilts.  There's something so freeing about just sewing together strips and seeing where it takes you.   I have a lot of my own hand painted fabrics so I cut up some of them and made a small quilt top.  Here is the result of that.  It measures 19 X 20 inches right now.
