While I was at retreat i started the Moulin Rouge piece. It will be a quilt, probably just larger than lap size. When Carrie was in Europe after college, she brought me home two tea towels. I had no idea what to do with them until my friend Victoria over at Bumble Beans had a Tea Towel Challenge of all things! I remembered I had these two guys and I pulled them out.
For the retreat I gathered all my stash pieces that even remotely looked like they would work. And I had a couple of ideas from clippings over the years. I sort of had a plan. But who really HAS a plan!
So I just kept working on it. And using up what I had, adding a piece here, cutting this up for there. And here is where it stands at the present time.
I still need to add more rounds. But I was very happy where it went at the Retreat.
We hung the Kaleidascope of Quilts Show at the Jones Creek Library this week. I will have some photos of the gorgeous quilts hanging over the next week.
Check back here to see the show through my lens!
looking good so far. I totally fell down on my tea towel challenge.
ReplyDeleteI like it! The black is a good choice for the background, your design has alittle of the "modern quilt movement " look to it. I could see you doing a bit of "fancy quilting" in the empty black areas. Or in modern quilting speak - negative space.
ReplyDeleteJust checked your 365 - did you give up on it? Every day is a huge commitment, I raise my scissors to anyone that can do it, even for a month :-)
