Double Slice Chevron??

[Joelle]

Ok, so I am completely obsessed with quilting. Now that I have that out of the way, how do you think a chevron quilt would look with the double slice layer quilt blocks??

Re: Double Slice Chevron??

Not sure how you would get a Chevron using the double slice. They are both blocks. How would you go about doing that?

Re: Double Slice Chevron??

Take patterned lYer cake and do double slice "procedure". You end up a block. Then take it and sew wth sold color with chevron "procedure"

I'd need to see what you mean, sorry I'm a visual learner.

I think I understand what you mean, but not really sure how it would look. I suppose you could do a few sample blocks to see if you like. On that note, it does not sound like something I would want to do.

Does it sound like too much work??

I can see it will be scrappy which is fun. But a double slice will have big areas and some smaller ones. it's not going to have an even look. Do you know what I mean? Some scrappy chevrons....

I think it would over complicate a design that's intended to be crisp and simple.

The Fons & Porter tut. is for paper piecing, which I don't do, except for Jenny's strip quilts. I cannot visualize combining chevron with Double Slice Layer Cake. They are 2 dif. concepts & 2 dif. tuts. If you figure it out, send us pics. JCY

Not to much work, just not visually appealing to me. Give it a try, you may like the way it looks.

I'm not too crazy about it. I think it ends up being too chopped up looking.

After looking though some pictures I think I like the cleaner looks better. I do like scrappy, but not for this pattern.

I think you should go ahead with your idea. This is how great new patterns are born.
