eo-7 Which Way

The final quilt in this series is motivated by a desire to get better at working with diagonals. I wanted to make a series of arrows - much like the Feathers quilt seen here.

Instead of buying the pattern, I wanted to see if I could work out how to design and lay-out the quilt with the fabric I had on hand. This would mean that the dimensions of the arrows would need to vary.

I wanted to be organized about this and layout each color and plan the design, but really - I did not have enough fabric to do this efficiently. So, instead, I picked the angle for the arrows and tried to work out how to sew together 'strips' of  arrows with the correct offset to minimize fabric waste.

My hope was to use the same taupe color as the background for the entire quilt top. However, I did not have enough fabric for this, so I ended up adding white strips between the arrows.
