The pieces are uneven because I had something else in mind. The fabrics are different because I added pieces as I went along .The quilting was done with a variety of thread colors because I didn't have enough of one for the  whole quilt. The connecting of the blocks was unconventional because I quilted it before I put it together. The quilting lines are crooked because I let the machine sew  without guiding it...

It all began when I decided  to make a table runner and experiment with non structured free motion quilting. I selected a piece of plain fabric added  batting and a back  and began without a plan.  Initially the lines were about 2 cm apart. Slowly I added more lines between the gaps. The more lines I added the more exited I became so  I decided to make more blocks.  I connected them using an overlocking stitch that completed the look that I wanted.

I love its uneven textured feel, its pucks and tucks and its very simple and unkempt look.

Dolly Quilt
If you are  wondering what happened to the table runner. It ended up being a dolly quilt  for my daughter Irini.  Embroidered  in Greek are  the words.

A fine design, simple and aristocratic.... a quilt maker's choice for her own bed.....
It's a shame the photograph can not capture its greatness....
