Sketch, finally finished

Just about in time - I finished my sketch-challenge!

It all started with my heaps of scraps:


And, of course, the sketch which seemed everything but feasible (a line tracing of a photo of water swirls I had seen somewhere):



I used techniques from the class with Jan + Jean, which I took last year, and in the end, strictly speaking, this is not a quilt.

Scraps arranged on solufix, covered with Avalon film, stitched

under the machine

It waited on the wall for a few days,
trying to figure out whether it needed
more stitching, or was done like this

Check out whether the other orientation is preferrable -
definitely not! But I could imagine a double version
including both orientations, perhaps in a different color range...

dissolving the film and solufix in the sink

figuring out how to do the sleeve, involving the flimsy backing

finished

It is just a bit wider and a bit longer than our usual size - but I did not want to cut anything off at the edges, it needs to be raw as it is.

  1. Very interesting technique. Where can I read more?

  2. There is not really a whole lot of technique about this one - if you have the solubles (solufix, and Avalon film) - attach fabric on sticky solufix surface, cover with Avalon, stitch to keep scraps together, dissolve. Finished. Lots of Fun!
