Waddle Quack

Week 3 - Quilt 5


This is the second journal page I made back in 2006.  

Waddle Quack - front

Challenges

• Manipulate fabric to change it's look
• Choose a busy print and a stripe

Techniques

• Applied fusible web to back of each fabric
• Drew a curvy line on background
• Cut the two fabrics into squares and fused to each side of line
• Zig zaged “eye lash” yarn over dividing line

Quilting

• Echo quilting and stippling
• I had intended the curve on the back to match the front but forgot to mirror-image so got the opposite instead. Took advantage of that to do some stippling where the two curves met.



Waddle Quack - back

• Added a line of words in the echo quilting lines

Edges

• Zig zag

Back

• The original fabric

Conclusions

• Really like the difference cutting the fabric made, especially the stripe when applied vertically and horizontally.
• The yarn effectively divides the two fabrics
• Like the overall effect cutting the fabric made. This technique would be useful where the fabric colour is right but the pattern is distracting.
