\"TerryAske_IndigoPanel\"<\/a>The indigo quilt top that I started last week<\/a> is finished, and I’m very happy with it.\u00a0 It’s not quilted yet, but I plan to quilt curved lines across the quilt – mostly by machine, but I think I’ll also add some hand quilting to this one.<\/p>\n

This was an interesting project for me – the size of the quilt and color palette were predetermined, as was the position of the red curve.\u00a0 However, as I made selections from the lovely indigo dyed fabrics I received, and worked with the design, it became more and more personal to me.\u00a0 As I said last week, I was going for an abstract version of sky and clouds at the top, with waves and water (the Fraser River) at the bottom.\u00a0 I now see the red curve as representing the bridges over the Fraser River, and the fabric right under the curve makes me think of city lights at night.\u00a0 It now appears to me to be an abstract interpretation of the area where I live.<\/p>\n

I started piecing the curves from the top down, and from the bottom up, then positioned the red curve and top-stitched it in place.\u00a0 Most of the indigo fabrics are linen, and the solids are linen and Kona cotton.\u00a0 I decided to applique the flying geese, but will fuse them after quilting the background, so right now they are just pinned.\u00a0 I also added a few red fish at the bottom, which further emphasizes the Fraser River concept, and nicely balances the flying geese.<\/p>\n
