There’s a new art quilt taking shape on my design wall.\u00a0 I’ve been thinking about this one for a few months, but I had other projects that took priority.<\/p>\n

It’s for a new SAQA exhibit Dusk to Dawn<\/a>.\u00a0 I know I have a very slim chance of being selected – hundreds of SAQA members will be submitting entries, and Dusk to Dawn will consist of approximately 25 artworks.\u00a0 However, I have been planning this art quilt for a few months and it fits the theme, so I’m going to enter it.<\/p>\n

Inspired by my entries to the Fibre Art Network’s Botanical Reflections<\/a> exhibit and my love of circle shapes, I drew the sketch below.\u00a0 I’m thinking of doing a series of sunrise, sunset and moon scenes.<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

My working title is ‘Moonrise’.\u00a0 It will be about 28 x 28 inches.<\/p>\n

I drew the pattern on freezer paper (FP), then cut the sections apart.\u00a0 For each section, I cut a piece of Pellon grid fusible interfacing<\/a> the size of the FP template plus 1\/2″ seam allowance.\u00a0 Then I pressed the FP to the back (non-fusible) of the interfacing (covering the fusible side with parchment paper, to prevent it sticking to the iron or ironing board).\u00a0 Then I placed the section on the ironing board with the FP down and the fusible interfacing up.\u00a0 I cut strips of fabric (about 1.5″ wide) and positioned them on the interfacing, using the grid lines to ensure the strips were straight and parallel.\u00a0 I overlapped the strips by about 1\/4″.\u00a0 Once I was satisfied with the arrangement of the strips, I fused them in place.<\/p>\n

I selected mostly batiks to minimize future fraying of the raw edges of the strips.\u00a0 I am going to quilt with fairly close horizontal lines, but there will be some raw edges.<\/p>\n

I used strips for the clouds and the sky.\u00a0 My initial plan was to use strips for the moon as well.\u00a0 As it turns out, I didn’t have any white batiks for the moon, but I did have a piece of white cotton fabric with silver sparkles that was slightly bigger than the moon section – so I made the moon a solid piece instead of strips.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Below is a photo is the top half with the fabrics fused in place, and some water and reflection fabrics being auditioned.\u00a0 The submission deadline is the end of this month, so I will be cutting and fusing the rest of the fabrics in the next couple of days.\u00a0 Then I will sew the pieces together using my favorite freezer paper (FP) piecing technique, described in this post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I haven’t decided yet how I will cover the raw edges of the seam allowances – with bias tape or with zigzag stitching.<\/p>\n
