Although I've made a few things that might be called "art quilts", I never looked at them as such. They just happened to be three layers with stitching! So, this piece...which certainly has its share of problems...is my first, official ART QUILT. I made it using some of the background fabrics that I dyed several weekends ago.
I'm not sure why I decided to try an art quilt....I think that the individual components suggested this use when they were laying on my studio floor together.
This weekend Steve and I are headed to Pennsylvania to visit my parents. My Dad is recovering from surgical complications...but he's improving. This will be Alex's first weekend home alone...not that I'm nervous for him!
Susan this is gorgeous!

ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous!! I love the hint of magenta colour around the squares.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, Susan! When will we see more?
ReplyDeleteTake those "strange" observations/critique and let them go - put the energy into more quilts!
