1600 MASH UP!

I was inspired by a photo of a quilt at this years 

‘Airing of the Quilts’

held at Venice Beach FL

I don’t know the maker so I can’t credit them, 

butbthey are a member of thr SWFMQG

I had a hoarded Jelly Roll of WEEDS, by

me and My Sisters Designs, paid $22

Now look at the pricing on Etsy! 

I didn’t want the red strips as

I was thinking a more scrappy feel.

I just used the black and white strips.

At the end of each strip I added 

Five, 2.5 x 5” random color scrap pieces. 

I added just one wonky strip of border to one side of the top! 

And then the mash uo was finished 

I quilted it with long organic straight lines 

And this was the binding…just perfect! 

Them I was off to the Topiary Park for a photo op,

The topiaries in this downtown park is

designed to depict the figures from

George’s Seurat's 1884 painting,

‘A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jeffie’ 

I saw the original painting in Chicago

At the Chicago Art Institute, in 2016.

Sew this was a special photo op.

I hope you like my 1600 Mash Up of the Traditional 1600” Jelly Roll quilt.
