Quilt

I started out to make a hanging for http://fiberactions.blogspot.com/ with the new word Stretch. I had this idea that the pieces in each section would "stretch". Didn't like it.
So I rearranged it. Still didn't like it and now it didn't look like "stretch" to me at all.
OK, so maybe it just needed to be a hanging.  I tested it by folding things to change the size of the strips and then cut all but the smallest in half.Now, we are getting closer.
With the border, I like it. Back to the drawing board for "Stretch".

I love how you resolved this piece Sandy. Look forward to seeing the next attempt at "stretch."

I think the piece is wonderful and your process satisfies the "Stretch" challenge.

Hi Sandy - thanks for following!
I admire how you take on the challenges to stretch "yourself" let alone what you do with this quilt. Keep going. It's great!
Cheers. Suzy
