Many moons ago I stitched strips from a roll together, then cut them into triangles. For a reason not known to me now, I put them away in a bin.
Time to sew these together, but I needed a plan – or did I? I decided on a free-for-all, thus the name “Melee.” It’s not entirely unplanned. I did make a “spider web” as the center.
After that, it was anything goes! The outside borders were also planned. They hold everything else in.
There wasn’t much left over and I knew none of it was going back into a bin, not even a scrap bin. I sewed a row and used it for the backing.
I did have fun with this one. All this color was a joy and creating as I go can be so freeing sometimes. I just need to choose the batting and it’s off to the long arm quilter. Looking forward to this finish!
I love it! Playing and not planning and no scraps with something that was “freed from a bin”!
It was definitely play. Love “freed from a bin” – perfect way to think of it!
Fan-tab-YOU-lous! I can hear the party going on all the way over here! How much fun to just let it go. Those turn out to be my favs!
Thank you! Yes, very freeing.
Love it! Truly one of a kind.
Thank you Jean. Truly cannot be duplicated!
How fun to use triangles this way! And no waste or scraps left at all, well done!
I think my favorite part is the no leftovers! Thank you!
