Another Green

This is the next entry into the green colors, and I am working with straight torn strips, bending them as I'm sewing them.  

I placed them on a fairly neutral green and each fabric is mirrored on the opposite side.  Similar to the blue one several weeks ago.  I have so many fabrics in the green colorway that I'm finding it difficult to pick just a couple!  We'll see what I decide to pull out of my stash next week....

Week 2 Green, LATE

Last week was terribly busy as was this last weekend, so I didn't get into the studio until today, Monday.  This is the second entry in the green pieces and I have done a wonky abstract patched piece.  

 At the moment I am planning on doing a similar technique in each colorway, although that may change as I continue into the different colors, we'll just have to see how it goes.  I hope to post this week's piece shortly, even be early with it! 

Week 1 Green

I am beginning my series of 9 green pieces and this is week 10 of the year.  I believe I am going to follow similar patterns, like I did with the blue group,  giving the finished plan more cohesiveness.  At least, that is my plan.  We'll see how it goes.  Anyway, here is my first green piece and it is done by layering torn strips of green from light to dark.  When I do my strata pieces, I usually start at the top of the piece, and layer down from there, so that the torn edges show at the top of each successive piece.

I quilted in an all-over wavy pattern and then added some eyelash yarn across the bottom.  The yarn is glittery and adds some additional texture.  The strip in the middle is a piece of sari silk, and although it's not in the same colorway as the other greens, I felt it added a type of horizon line to the overall look, with just a hint of a bluish tone. 
 

Last Blue Week

This piece is the last in the blue series, and I am late in posting it.  I wanted to post by Saturday of each week, and although I had the piece done in time, I just got too busy to post, plus I was out of town for a day or so.  Anyway, here is the 6 inch square.

 I used a light and a dark blue and sewed slightly curved lines in a four-patch.  This week will be the first in the green series, so I'd better get busy.  Hope to have it posted by Saturday!
