Patchwork progress (ArtMonth 9)

[kerravonsen]

As requested, here's my three clumps of patchwork so far:

They're draped over a chair.

It may look like a lot, but the jacket design requires 3.55m of cloth...

This is going to be gorgeous! I love the multicoloured fabric scrap (looks like a hand-dye).

How are you going to finish it - just lined, or lined and quilted, or lined and batted and quilted? Or none of the above?

It's great!

[kerravonsen]

This is going to be gorgeous!

Thank you! I don't think the multicoloured fabric is hand-dyed, because it's a synthetic material, and they don't take up dyes as well as natural fibres. And also, I don't recall it being expensive, which hand-dyed material would have been.

How are you going to finish it - just lined, or lined and quilted, or lined and batted and quilted?

Just lined, I think.

I would kill for that jacket even before you've made it. The materials and colours are mouthwateringly lovely.

[kerravonsen]

Ha! Thanks.

Oh, I love the rich purple and emerald you've used! Fantastic jewel colours. Very striking.

[kerravonsen]

I love jewel colours like that. Part of the motivation for this is all the remnants that I have that aren't enough to be able to make something on their own.

Everyone's right, those are lovely colours, and nicely combined. You've made more progress than I expected from your comments!

[kerravonsen]

I think there's just enough there for one of the front pieces of the jacket, if I can figure out the best way of combining those three clumps into one.

I love those colours. Can't wait to see the finished work.

[kerravonsen]

Thanks.

What gorgeous fabrics! I can see why you were inspired to use them.

[kerravonsen]

8-) Absolutely. I didn't have enough of them to make something on their own, but patchwork would be able to use them all.

Wow, they're gorgeous colours! And you've done a lot!
