Fabulous. The technique of attaching to another piece of fabric opens up so many possibilities. Great Job.

Oh I wish you would give a class or directions of how to make this one. I have been wondering on how to make a quilt using your stitch and slash method.

I think this might be my favorite piece, it's got that Mid Century Modern feel that I love so much.

Love this class. I hesitate to ask lol should it be obvious to me or Is it a secret as to how you DID attach all the pieces to the background? Did you make small stitch and slash pieces, cut them out then applique them onto another piece of fabric?

Many people have asked me about this. I made all the rectangles and squares separately and then designed them on a large black cotton background. Then I stitched each rectangle to the background, added more machine stitching, trimmed the edges and finished with rattail binding.

I don't really know. I didn't measure as I made them. Why should you? Just go for it!
