I had great plans for my Skybridge quilt this week, but I ran into a few problems that slowed my progress.<\/p>\n

As I said last week, I was thinking of making it in surreal colors, rather than realistic – something like the manipulated photo below with a yellow sky and blue-violet bridge.\u00a0 I even bought some fabric in these colors, but somehow it just didn’t work when I put them up on the design wall.<\/p>\n

So then I decided to use closer to realistic colors – I have a blue-green fabric for the sky, and will make the bridge from black, gray and white fabrics with a few dark blues and purples for shadows, and the red panel on the towers.<\/p>\n

\"Skytrain<\/a>\u00a0 \"DSCN3447\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"IMG_1951-011\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So with the colors decided and fabrics purchased, I started tracing the full-size pattern \"DSCN3445\"<\/a>onto freezer paper. \u00a0 I realized I needed a french curve ruler to get the long curved lines as smooth as I wanted them, so that required another trip to the fabric store.\u00a0 Then I decided to eliminate the bushes at the bottom of the photo, and I had to refer to several other photos to draw in the structure of the bridge supports.\u00a0 After several hours, I finally had a drawing I was happy with and I finished my tracing on the freezer paper.<\/p>\n

I’m going to use the sky fabric as a base, and assemble the bridge sections in units, then applique them onto the sky fabric.\u00a0 Since there are some fairly large pieces, I’m hoping it will go together quickly, and I’ll have something more exciting to show you next week.<\/p>\n
