I combined this slicing technique with an adaptation of crazy piecing. I crazy pieced like we do in the book, but I kept all the pieces parallel and perpendicular instead of at angles.

Slicing Away!
Made this before QuiltCon as a sample for the demo that Katie and I did on the slice/insert technique. This quilt is an example of a new variation of the technique that I figured out when making samples. This kind of slicing and inserting require NO matching of seams. How great is that!

I love the addition of the texture from the straight line quilting.
Had to show a peek of the back too. That's the last of that fav fabric by Jackie Shapiro. So sad to see the empty space on my shelf.
This will take its place with my class samples for both the slice/insert and crazy piecing classes. I might have to make a larger, more usable version for myself. I could definitely see this in orange!
Oh, and some of you are so on it, you've signed up for my newsletter before I had the chance to post about it. On the top of the sidebar there's a new link that will sign you up for my newsletter. I'll be sending out news every once and awhile to let you know where I'm teaching, pattern releases and any other fun news I might have. If you'd like to be a subscriber, I'd love to have you!

This quilt is beautiful :) How wide are your gray "border" strips?
That's great! Like windows, but less literal. And a crazy-piecing style that tones down the craziness, which some folks would probably prefer. I really love it!
You are on a roll Jacquie! I love seeing your work:).
Wow! Now THAT is a "must do" technique!! Awesome! I tend toward the traditional, possibly contemporary, but that is the modern look I could definitely get in to!!! Thanks so much for this post!!!! Hugs, Doreen
I love this. Are you going to do a class or another book with the technique?
MMMmmm great quilt Jacquie. I love the colors. I love the non angle piecing too! You be sure to tell me if come to Boise any time!!!
Another lovely quilt Jacquie! I have just bought your book and I love it! Thank you for writing it!
I love the blues. Wonderful result.
What a great quilt! Yes, yes, YES to a version in orange!!
Absolutely love this quilt. The color choices are wonderful and lately I started craving for diff shades of blues again.
Your quilts are wonderful, Jacquie!
