2024 Challenge : Quilt Your Book QAL #5 Skinny Lines

Quilt Your Book QAL #5 Skinny Lines

Quilt Your Book #5

Welcome to month #5 of Quilt Your Book!

After exploring book covers with triangles, appliqués, curves and surface design, let’s now challenge ourselves with skinny lines! Or do you call them skinny strips? Very fine lines?!

This means that this month, get inspired by:

  • Using fabric to match the cover of a book. 

  • Focusing on one element, 

  • Copying the layout, or

  • Enlarging a detail!

And make it skinny!

Skinny means skinny. Maybe ¼” wide? can you make it to 1/8”?

I was first introduced to skinny lines by NancyP in Challenge #6 of the Mod Tech Challenge. You may want to refer to NancyP’s tutorial for guidance and take a look at these blogs.

Remember, you may use the book of your choice. Should you ever need a book cover suggestion (or two), here is Margie’s pick and Marie’s pick.

Submit your block to Charlotte before August 15 to be included in the draw and in the “Quilt Your Book” Skinny Lines Show and Tell!
