My Quip – Chopsticks Update – The Inner Top Completed

Good Day,

The inner top of our new Chopsticks quilt has been completed.

All 120 blocks, constructed of 1,200 1 ½” by 5 ½” strips, have been pieced to create an inner top.

Now next to add the inner borders.

All fabric is a batik line from the Robert Kaufmann jelly rolls Chop Chop. Stay tuned for the soon to be revealed original design and final size.

Oh and by the way our commissioned NT Celebration king sized quilt has been finished. Come back to Quilts SB for our final write up.

If you have any questions, comments, ideas, please feel free to contact Andy or me via email at Quilts SB.

Enjoy,

Jim and Andy

My Quip – Chopsticks Update – Second Draft Design Completed and Chosen

Good Day,

Our second draft of our design, inspired by the Rail-Fence pattern, for our new and next quilt, Chopsticks, has been completed. The question was, do we create -

Traditional-like?

Or Abstract?

The numbers on each block represent all 120 blocks that we are using in the inner top of our Chopsticks design. Each block is created and pieced of 10 strips 1 ½” by 5 ½”. And yes there is an ordered random-like construction method used for each block. The inner top will be 10 blocks wide and 12 blocks long.

We decided to work an abstract design based on a background glowing light grid polka dot pattern from an iPad mini.

And the piecing work has begun.

The inner top fabric is all from one Robert Kaufmann jelly roll – Chop Chop.

Enjoy,
