I looked it up, the definition of chaos: complete disorder and confusion · disarray · havoc · turmoil and on and on. And though the recent class with Libs Elliott included a very unique (and fun!) method for us each to design our own distinctive quilt, the end result seems to me quite the opposite of chaos.
The beautiful and textural Irome Muji cotton/linen blends by
Kokka was for me, just perfect for this quilt, a joy to both sew and quilt. I took inspiration from a quilting design from Ashley/
Film in the Fridge, rotating her original 90-degrees, which require marking every line, which seemed time-consuming at first, but in actuality went very well.
For thread, I started out using
Aurifil 50wt #2000 (beige), and after a break of several days, inadvertently continued on quilting with another color, #2021 (natural white). Oops! Rather than unpick the whole thing, I kept using both threads, switching them out every several rows. Maybe not ideal, but I can live with it.
Finishing at 48" square, I expect this quilt finds a happy home in our living room, where it coordinates well with our 'wild' chair. It seems meant to be.
