I have always loved working on jigsaw puzzles. They are just filled with pieces. I thought it would be fun to try and create a simple jigsaw puzzle quilt. I took the photo this September at a friends summer house in Northern Maine. I just love the sunset colors on the flowers. Here is the photo that I used to start.
I had a friend print the photo onto broadcloth that was prepared for printing. I then downloaded a puzzle pattern. I enlarged the pattern for the photo with just 6 pieces. I stitched the jigsaw pattern on the photo but separated one piece of the puzzle.
Very nice, Tricia. I originally intended to make a puzzle - at least that's what I thought of when I selected the word. But, time and intimidation got the best of me!!! Thanks for explaining how you created this charming puzzle. Love it!
ReplyDeleteSo here's how I could have done a jig saw quilt! I should have thought of this! Love the photo on which your quilt is based, and the quilt itself is perfect for this theme!
ReplyDeleteWe both started with a photograph. Your starting image is striking and I love the fact that the puzzle isn't quite complete
ReplyDeleteTricia - What an amazing interpretation of "Pieces." I never would have thought of a puzzle, but its absolutely perfect for this challenge ! Congrats on a beautiful quilt, and for your explanation of how to download the Puzzle Pattern and manipulate that pattern for use on your quilt ! Great job :-D
ReplyDeleteHow clever!! Gorgeous photo. Love the almost "missing" piece!! Great interpretation!!
ReplyDeleteThis is great and to have that one piece that is separate from the quilt makes it a playful jigsaw!
ReplyDeleteYour inspiration photo is gorgeous and a great start to a very fun and clever quilt.
ReplyDeleteI love the piece that isn't quite in place yet!
