Road Trip Project hanging

Road Trip Project

Is on DISPLAY

at

Univ. of South Alabama Library 3rd floor!!!

What a FANTASTIC DISPLAY!!!

Great job EVERYONE!!!

There are 23 squares on display,

each is 20" x 20",

finished with a facing.

We could do whatever we wanted,

as long as the road was going from side to side of our piece.

Some of us had to make our road 

going from 4" to 2",

others were the opposite. 

Isn't it cool how everyone did something so very different?

I LOVE to see creativity!!!

Let your creativity shine!!!

Go with it!

Follow it!!!

Let go of the fear!!!

"Just do it!"

Sew the pieces of life together!

The make a BEAUTIFUL quilt!!!!

The Grass Is NOT Greener On The Other Side - Completed!

The Grass Is NOT Greener On The Other Side

Is Completed!!!

YAY!!!

This was a FUN project!

This little 20"x20" took a few turns...

You just never know!!!

Keep an OPEN mind!!!

ALWAYS!

Ok,

This was my original idea...

But...

That had to change as the road was too high.

(This is an end turning piece.)

So, the road was made to exit a LOT lower on the side.

THEN...

I had to figure out how to make the road go over the stream...

Here's a surprise...

Do you ever get your husband involved?

My husband asked if I could make the bridge dimensional...

Hhmmmm...

I found some leather scraps I had,

Cut them roughly with scissors,

now there's a bridge over the stream!

But...

How do I get dimension to it?

Add a curve!

NOPE!

Hubby wants it RAISED!

REALLY!!!

HOW???

Hmmm...

So,

Under the bridge slats, 

there are 2 pieces of leather to RAISE the bridge!

TADA!!!

Sweet Hubby LOVES it!

This project is hanging at

Univ. of South Alabama Library!

I hope to get there tomorrow to see it.

I'll post pictures!

Sew the pieces of life together!

They make a BEAUTIFUL quilt!!!
