Harvey Fierstein

Harvey Fierstein Instagram – Someone, some very generous someone, sent me a box of her tossed off scraps. I opened the box and my mind was blown. I had to make something of them …
My aim was to throw judgement away and just grab tiny scraps sewing them together and seeing what they did for one another. If I liked a color, I sewed it on. If I liked a print, onto the quilt it went. I cut very little, (the fussy cut flowers are an exception), but tried to use the scraps as they came out of the pile.
The technique was “quilt as you go” style, on the long arm, and it was so much fun to make. it was so freeing! I was in heaven the entire time. Even binding it was fun since I just kept using the scraps. And… It’s HUGE! 120″ X 106″
I love it.
But my favorite detail can be seen on the lower right hand corner. it’s a smile covid mask leftover from the baby quilt I made last week. | Posted on 27/Feb/2024 05:19:48
