For some time now, I’ve been thinking about making an abstract art quilt of a spiral galaxy<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 A few weeks ago I made a rough sketch.\u00a0 Since I want the quilt to have an abstract look, I decided to just enlarge the sketch, rather than refining it making numerous more detailed drawings.<\/p>\n

Here’s my original sketch.\u00a0 I photocopied it at 400%, and traced it onto tracing paper with a more dramatic tilt to it.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN4244\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"DSCN4245\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I enlarged the tracing paper image by 400% onto 8 pieces of 11 x 17 inch paper.\u00a0 I taped those together to make my full-size pattern, which you can see below on my design wall.\u00a0 I’ve pulled a lot of fabrics that have black or dark backgrounds, plus a couple of lighter ones for the center.\u00a0 Which fabrics actually end up in the quilt will depend on how they look when I pin them to the design wall.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN4248\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"DSCN4252\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m going to rough cut the fabrics and pin them on top of the pattern, starting in the middle and working out to the edges.\u00a0 Once I’m happy with my fabric choices, I’ll apply fusible web on the edges and trim them to their final shapes.<\/p>\n
