This post is a continuation of my ongoing series “What’s on the Design Wall”, featuring my latest project up on either the small design wall in my studio or the large design wall my hallway.
I spent this weekend working on a new improvisational art quilt made with recycle clothing and recycled home decor fabric – Additional Conversations.
On Instagram I shared a couple previews/peeks over the past week, like the example below:
Well here are several initial images of the completed quilt top:
Better photos to come – I was challenged with taking photos of my large design wall, at an angle, in our narrow hallway. Note: My enthusiasm to get the finally sewn together quilt top up on the design wall exceeded my enthusiasm to do a quality job of final pressing on the ironing board.
I am thinking of hand quilting this piece like I did The Recycled Road (made from many of the same fabrics).
Now what to do with the left over scraps from the piece – perhaps a smaller companion piece called “Additional Small Conversations“!
Additional Conversations is the fourth piece in my series Recycled Denim Stories (see my Tierney Davis Hogan page on the Improvisational Textiles website).
I love it! And big stitch quilting would be really cool!

I like this. What appeals to me is the interplay of bright and dark and the many variations on the motif.

Tierney, I’m very with your new project. It really turned out spectacular. I think another smaller piece would be wonderful. Hand quilting is an excellent choice! I hear your frustrations with photographing your large pieces. I feel the same way. Always a challenge. 😁

Thanks Cindy and after I take the time to properly iron it I was thinking of taking better photos outside where I am not squished up against a wall in my hallway 🙂
