I finally decided on a quilting plan for my challenge quilt and did it this weekend. My quilt friend who ships all of the pieces off to the show is coming to town next week so I want to have this finished to hand off to her when I see her. Specs:
Challenge theme = 20 (20th anniversary of the challenge), open to any interpretation we want
Fabrics - embroidered silks, all from my scraps (circles)
cotton (background and backing)
Size - 18" wide by 36" long
Cotton batting
Design - based on tessellations like seen in nature

Still to be decided on - which way to hang the quilt so I know where to put the hanging sleeve (this way or turned 180 degrees, has to be in this orientation).
Yet to finish - binding (once I find it...), label (which means I need to decide on a name), and the hanging sleeve.
The way this turned out it reminds me of one of the desktop sand zen gardens, so I may name it "Tessellation Zen".
Gratitudes:
1. It sounds like we might get paid tomorrow or Wed.....
2. Got paid for the commissioned stuff that was picked up on Saturday
I like it! I love pencil quilting to look at; don't love doing it.
ReplyDeleteI usually like small up, but in this case I like the small circles down. Maybe it is because the coil of small makes a big???? (Makes me think of the children's book, Swimmy.
I love your quilt!! The way you have it going from large at the top to small at the bottom feels right to me! I even turned my computer upside down to see it the other way...naw, the way you have it is right! It does remind me of the table-top zen garden. Now I want to make one like that!!
