Roadrunner Quilt Continued

This is how far I got with that bird. Looks exited and ready to go. The squares look messy until they will be connected. That's why I removed the rough edges. Awful! For my new visitors (in case there will be some): The central patch is a lino print, in some cases painted with textile paint, and so are about half of the surrounding fabrics.

 Here, we have two connected tiles, the right upper and lower. That's better. But I'll have to wait until the full number of squares is reached, so I can compose them in a suitable way.

 

Just coming back to the six bird tiles, pretty chaotic, aren't they? I used a number of my lino prints, maybe I should put a few solids between them.
What will it be like to sleep under these restless birds? Will my dreams be even more dynamic and speedy? Thanks, I don't need that.

The sewing is a kind of korak technique, slightly altered. I quilted the tiles by hand which is not part of the tradition, and the larger pieces are "false korak", they are not all doubled up, just the material needed for a seam.
I'm hooked to sewing on the visible side, I find it very difficult to work in a different way although recently I started visiting a class for traditional hand sewn quilts.

This posting is linked to an interesting blog, allowing guest links on Friday. Have a look!
