I knew I wanted my corduroy quilt to be impulsive and scrappy. I remembered this quilt by Anna Williams that Barbara noted was at the Brooklyn Museum.
I made a black and white copy of the quilt detail and commenced working.
I made one paper pattern for the triangle shape. I cut out triangles
and strips like Anna does, with scissors. And I made sure to ignore the
nap so there would be variety with the wales.
In Deb Rowden style, it is not finished. But close! Close, and today I should have time to stitch the final seams of this start....
Hail the Wale. Enjoy the day, take a few moments to reflect at 11:11.......and many thanks to Nifty for taking the ball and running with this idea!

ReplyDeleteThis one steals the show for me!
Love your quilt. It is definitely a 'Deb Quilt'. Love that little print in there and the chartreuse is just so perfect!
I have collected quite a few of corduroy pieces over the years . They are as bright and cheery as this quilt. Now I know what I am going to do with them.
Thanks for getting us all excited in the first place! BY thew ay, I had to use your idea of the food corduroy. Made myself a salad-quilt and enjoyed eating it too!
Awesome!!! A carnival of color!
ReplyDeleteDidn't know about the wales! I thought it was a country but having checked on Wiki - now I know! Hail those wales!
ReplyDeleteWow ! Amazing work with corduroy, so many pieces !
ReplyDeleteWow! I love all this color, texture and shape. It looks beautiful and effortless, just like Anna Williams' quilts, although definitely your own. I'm so glad you got us going on this. I think we should make it a yearly event!
ReplyDeleteAll the color is so amazing. I can just imagine how it feels, and how warm and comfy it will be. Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteWhat a candy bag of colour!! And wonderful pattern to play with!! So Joyful!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful piece of work. I seldom see corduroy with such a range of bright cheerful colors. This is a pattern I've got to try with my scraps of whatever. Thanks for sharing and telling us about 11 11 11 .
ReplyDeleteWhat a great project!!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors, great design. All those triangles float like sailboats in this colorful regatta of wales!
ReplyDeleteAnother ambitious effort in corduroy! I'm sending you 111111 wishes for success in finishing this project. ;- ) You're off to a great start!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun colors!
ReplyDeleteHail the Wales to you too! Wow, what a riot of color and pattern! Very Anna Williams and very inspirational. And thanks for starting this whole corduroy craze! Who knew there was a day just for this fabric?? LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the triangles in there!
ReplyDeleteJust stopped by from Nifty's to enjoy your corduroy quilt--lovely. Also enjoyed your other quilting projects and the work of others that you highlight. So pleased to see that someone is keeping the memory of the old quilts. I did several posts on the quilts I inherited and am restoring.
ReplyDeletebest from Tunisia,
nadia
fantastic! love the colors and the piecing. excellent!
ReplyDeleteohhhh my...fab! I'm having a go at replicating that very same quilt with all my crumbs! Can I be nosey and ask how wide/long where your strips? I think mine is looking a little to neat as I'm working with the rotary cutter and ruler...yours seems very organic in comparison!!! xxx
