There is more movement and the strip landscapes have a more contemporary/modern feel to them. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope you really like my book! Ah calicoes... I remember them well. As you said, thank goodness styles have changed! :)<br />Material Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10207955801104019255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936994744919625087.post-43609219673508959142015-11-23T18:12:27.775-08:002015-11-23T18:12:27.775-08:00I know what you mean - not enough time to try all ...I know what you mean - not enough time to try all the new techniques and toys out there! I don't think paper would work. It needs to be somewhat strong and able to carry the weight of the fabric and the glue. Plus, it might stretch and then straight rows won't be straight.<br /><br />PS. I have no idea why I didn't get notified that you'd written here last March!Material Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10207955801104019255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936994744919625087.post-27763473757063663152015-11-23T16:51:09.583-08:002015-11-23T16:51:09.583-08:00I just found this post, and it made me remember ma...I just found this post, and it made me remember making a "watercolor" quilt using squares fused to the preprinted grid interfacing, then stitching narrow seams horizontally and vertically from the back. I think I tried it back in the late 90's, using some country colors of calico. Thank goodness my tastes have changed. I got your book for my birthday and want to make a landscape quilt this winter!Laura McGrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314349729986876724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936994744919625087.post-20451855314417103912015-03-18T13:40:41.817-07:002015-03-18T13:40:41.817-07:00Thanks for such a descriptive blog post.

Is there a reason why you like to draw your own grids? Have to admit I haven't tried this grid technique myself, but am intrigued and am adding it to my ever too long list of things I'd like to make. Not enough time!Steph Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11299606580920109724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936994744919625087.post-14239628243615125232015-03-15T07:45:15.460-07:002015-03-15T07:45:15.460-07:00Thank you Deb!

One has to learn to walk before they can run... I've been making landscape quilts almost exclusively since the mid 90's and have learned a great deal over of the years. I really don't consider myself particularly talented, rather I know what I like and have worked to learn how to do it well. <br /><br />Plus, I have a LOT of different landscape fabrics and they do most of the work... Thanks for the compliments though, I appreciate it. :) Material Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10207955801104019255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936994744919625087.post-43652225552169048542015-03-13T17:24:23.443-07:002015-03-13T17:24:23.443-07:00Wow this is really beautiful and interesting.

It is so easy... on the other hand, I just don't like a lot of raw edges at times so piecing is usually my first choice. I haven't done a watercolor landscape like this quilt in a long time. (Strip piecing is easier!)<br />CathyMaterial Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10207955801104019255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7936994744919625087.post-71923683258624364952015-03-13T17:08:35.643-07:002015-03-13T17:08:35.643-07:00You are welcome.
