Off my design wall – 2018.02.14

Happy Valentine’s Day!

My cherry blossom modern/art quilt is quilted, and just needs a black binding before I can submit it to the textile art exhibit Cherry Blossoms: A Textile Translation.

I quilted the black and gold background hexagons with gold rayon thread, using my walking foot.  I free-motion quilted the cherry blossoms with black thread for a sketchy look.   I’m very happy with how it looks.  Here’s a partial view of the front and the back.

   

 

I’ll have to decide on a name for it by Friday, which is the deadline to enter.   I’m thinking of something with the word ‘Glitz’ or ‘Glitzy’.

    Oh I love these flowers! Their shape, their color, their fabrics – beautiful! This work reminds me a lot of my idol, Ruth B McDowell – I so wish she hadn’t retired.
