    Default Finished my shop hop quilt... 5 years later!

    Collected a set of 2.5" strips during a local shop hop 5 years ago. Finally made something with them!

    As I was playing with the placement of the blocks on my design board, I remembered an exhibit I saw years ago at a modern art museum called Block B. It was a video of the front of an apartment building spliced together showing the happenings each day an night. Everywhere you looked, there were things happening - a lady hanging her saris out to dry, kids riding tricycles up and down the walkways, two lovers in the stairwell; it was fascinating. Anyway, this quilt reminds me of that exhibit.

    Now, I have four more years of pre-cuts to do something with

    Oh, I love that quilt. Beautiful placement of colors. Can't wait to see what you do with the other 4 more years of pre-cuts. Thanks for sharing this show stopper!
