I started designing and cutting fabric for ‘Aurora’ last Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

On Wednesday, I got it completely pieced.\u00a0 It took all day, but I was determined to get it done.\u00a0 I came perilously close to running out of one of the background fabrics, and had to resew some of the angled seams more than once.<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

On the weekend, I quilted it.\u00a0 I used variegated poly-sheen thread. I have 2 spools – one is neon colors, the other is shades of pink. I\u2019m matchstick quilting as I thought that would add to the impression of vertical streaks of light and color.<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

This is after 30 minutes of quilting – so, yes, it did take most of the weekend.\u00a0 But I’m so happy with the result.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here is “Aurora’ finished, and ready to be submitted to the SAQA exhibit Dusk to Dawn<\/a> – the deadline to enter is today, so I just squeaked in under the wire.\u00a0 The finished size is 27″ x 29″.<\/p>\n
