Yes, orange is a great color for quilting and crafting.Danice Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00756628636993465703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-38110575093612754472023-02-23T00:00:48.330+11:002023-02-23T00:00:48.330+11:00Anorina, I got on your blog to see your Sweet on Y...Anorina, I got on your blog to see your Sweet on You post, but saw this one instead. I have never heard of this but certainly want to try it. I looked back and found your explanation for how the green Kawandi was constructed. Thanks for that! I hope to put something together myself--and I guess it doesn't have to be the same color--or is it traditionally done in one color? Hope to see your next one!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17705460922529151878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-36767545336640459402023-02-21T00:49:15.719+11:002023-02-21T00:49:15.719+11:00I have never heard of this but I love it. I agree...I have never heard of this but I love it. I agree, orange is undervalued in quilting. I can't wear it but I love it in everything else. I have gone and found a tutorial for this and now I have jumped down another rabbit hole! But thank you as I think yours are beautiful! It just so happens that yesterday I ran across 3 small bags of scraps that I had bought at a quilt store years ago....perfect! Coincidence? I don't think so! LOL! Maybe you'll be seeing a Kawandi from me or part of one at the next FNSI. www.self-sufficientsam.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18065860466566055543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-59885178723452106252023-02-20T03:28:17.262+11:002023-02-20T03:28:17.262+11:00I've been thinking of you as I've been han...I've been thinking of you as I've been hand-stitching my latest Kawandi. You stitch your rows closer together than I do - personal preference is great! When I took my workshop with Sujata, she told us that Siddi women use their pinky finger to "measure" the distance between rows. She also said they take an extra tiny stitch when adding a new scrap to the piece. But I'm sure they're making their Kawandi to be USED, so dense stitching isn't needed. I love the thread you used - gradated works beautifully! I intend to look for size 12 gradated thread while at QuiltCon.
