My Quip – “TDB” Update

Good Day,

Andy and I have been working on our new TBD quilt. Our design has been transferred to a muslin canvas.

TBD -  JS AB - Canvas under construction

The canvas is approximately 60”wide and 70”long. We have created 9 panels.

We are working on how to piece strips. Yes, we are not appliquéing. We are going to try a piece all strips. Each strip will be, sewn; 2” wide and all strips will be of varying heights.




We have been testing colors. We have decided upon 1 color at this point, it is Robert Kaufman Kona Solid Titanium Grey.

My Quip - A New Quilt Project Named "TBD"

Good Day,

Andy and I have begun another new quilt project. - TBD



All our details are to be determined.  We have committed to our original design and as usual, the dining room, the living room, and the sewing rooms are beginning to look like the compartments of a new sweat shop. (No pun intended regarding the Florida weather.)

We are creating our new TBD with a purpose.

Our TBD is a new experiment. We are trying to create pieced panels, and are proposing 10 panels which eventually we hope to construct a final piece that is approximately 60" wide and 70" long.

We have chosen the brand of fabrics, Robert Kaufman Kona Solids.



Our images are of our test and sample work.
