“Passages” is Day 27
“Passages” is Day 27 of my art quilt a day project for the month of March. This is a very different design from most of the rest–you might notice that I started with the leftover wonky stripes from yesterday’s block. I like the way the bright bits of color move through the space. I can…
“Courtyard” is Day 26
“Courtyard” is Day 26 of my art quilt a day project for the month of March. It’s getting down to the end! I decided to try some different colors in this one–it turned out darker than I would have liked, but the design was interesting to create. The mustard colored fabric is a little tricky…
“Around the Block” is Day 25
“Around the Block” is Day 25 of my art quilt a day project for the month of March. This is actually the piece that just didn’t gel from a few days ago. After a few days’ perspective, I reworked it and I’m happier with it now. One of the issues I’ve encountered during this project…
“Water’s Edge” is Day 24
“Water’s Edge” is Day 24 of my March art quilt project. I went back to the subtle colors of “Skyscrapers” from a couple of days ago, but decided to cut the fabrics with a freehand curve instead of straight to see what would happen. I like the energy where the horizontal lines meet and the…
“Marble Maze” is Day 23
“Marble Maze” is Day 23 of my one art quilt a day project for the month of March. I’m getting down to the end–maybe I should have picked February! The Marble theme is one I keep coming back to–I think there are seven of these pieces now. They’re interesting to design because there seem to…
“Forest Path” is Day 21
Going back to a simpler idea, “Forest Path” is Day 21 in my art quilt a day for the month of March. Yesterday’s piece, “Block Party,” was a fairly complex design, so I decided today to go back to basics. I really enjoy making these units I call “wonky stripes,” especially when they are sewn…
“String of Marbles” is Day 17
More marbles! “String of Marbles is Day 17 of my one art quilt top a day for the month of March. I auditioned several background fabrics for this one, and the bright yellow seemed to be the best choice. Could be because it seems like it’s finally spring and the daffodils are blooming! I do…
“The Road Home” is Day 16
“The Road Home” is Day 16 of my 30 art quilt tops in one month project, featuring an improvisationally pieced central block with the suggestion of a house shape in the upper left portion. The green lines offset one another coming from north, south, east and west, but all end up at home. I’m not…
