Keep moving!

Here's my word for the year: Move.
Move my body, move my life,
and move more fabric out of my sewing room
instead of in.
I made it as part of the word challenge over at 15 minutes play.

So I decided to take my own advice,
and move some bits and pieces out of the drawer and onto the design wall.
These are silk noile blocks that I strip pieced onto foundations.
I have a tutorial for this curved strip piecing technique under my tutorial tab here.
 

I pinned them on a purple silk background.

Remembering my mother's wool scene from last week, I tried a horizontal approach.
I think this has the beginnings of a landscape portrait.

 
Even better if it is cropped.
 
I'm linking up with TNTN WIP Wednesdays.

The quilt MOVE is looking so yummy! I can't wait to see more quilts coming out of these scraps.

I really love your work, Brenda. You inspire me to do more with silks and solids. Looking forward to your next MOVE!
