Today is my day to participate in the Salt and Sand Blog Hop hosted by Carol at Just Let Me Quilt and Carla at Creatin' in the Sticks.
Then there was this sliced quilt challenge I participated in. It just seemed like it needed to be displayed in this blog hop.
Back in 2009, this was probably the most challenging and yet, the most fun project I had ever worked on!! I truly want to do it again someday. Six ladies decided to try our hands at a "sliced quilt". The rules were to find a picture to be recreated as a quilt, blow it up to the actual finished size, slice it into six pieces, and mail them out to each other. We all lived in various parts of the state and were not able to see each other's work until the unveiling. Bev chose an underwater ocean scene. Sidney - holding the piece - really shined in her ability to paint fabric. I believe she did some beautiful painting mixed with other quilting techniques on every piece. I truly feel like she was the most talented and most inspiring. Sidney did this section of Bev's quilt.

Beautiful quilts! I have never done a sliced quilt, but I love the results! Sounds like a fun project.
ReplyDeleteWow! LOVE the way the fabric was painted!
ReplyDeleteIt all sounded very fun and I was lost and confused along the way. But the end result is quite a fascinating work of art! I also love that first quilt design and framing it all in the yellow was a perfect finish.
ReplyDeleteBoth of those quilts are amazing! I've seen those sliced quilts before but have never done one--so cool! The colors in the Storm at Sea quilt are perfect and the work on it is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of a sliced quilt till now. It sounds like a fun challenge. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous quilts!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful storm at sea quilt. LOVE LOVE your colors and fabrics.
ReplyDeleteHow cool are those quilts! I am amazed at the talent of quilters!!
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing talent, skill, creativity and vision! I can see that the sharing of the projects and each taking some part in the others' piece was a big part of the fun. Thanks for sharing.
