The first time I&#8217;ve built anything so large from scratch. I&#8217;ve been considering it more now that Jude&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/spiritcloth.typepad.com\/spirit_cloth\/hunker-down\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hunker Down (Large Cloth)<\/a> class has started. Progress photos can be found at the link <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/?tag=short-cut-quilt\">here<\/a> or using tag &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/?tag=short-cut-quilt\">landscape quilt<\/a>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>We sit on it every day, as it is used as a couch cover.\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s lacking in some way aesthetically although it certainly serves its purpose: keeping crumbs and other debris out of the divots in our couch seat. I think it needs more quilting, but I&#8217;m not a quilter.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9361\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9361\" class=\"wp-image-9361 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9722.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9722.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9722-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-9361\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On the couch<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I photographed it in halves on the clothesline. It&#8217;s two-sided so there are four halves.

Making a small mockup of the three layer sandwich helped. I made a potholder as a proof of concept.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9718.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9718.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9718-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9718-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9718-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9718-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9357\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9719.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9719.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9719-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9719-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9719-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9719-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9720.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9720.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9720-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9720-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9720-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9720-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9359\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9721.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9721.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9721-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9721-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9721-160x160.jpg 160w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/img_9721-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I never posted final photos of this project that I named the &#8220;landscape quilt&#8221; so here it is!
