I haven\u2019t posted anything since Quilt Canada because I\u2019ve been working on a secret project.\u00a0 It will be a few months before I can post about it, but I can show you some of the colors I used. This little pile of leftover scraps and threads was a great source of inspiration for my next project.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m working on my entry for the VMQG Modern Mini Showcase Challenge<\/a>.\u00a0 It must be made from solid fabrics and have a maximum perimeter of 80 inches.\u00a0 I’ve been considering various options including improv piecing, circles(!) or an abstracted scene of trees and water.\u00a0\u00a0 I had pulled a number of solid fabrics that made me think of the West Coast – mostly cool colors – blues, greens, purples.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this pile of colorful scraps inspired me to broaden my color palette.\u00a0 And the return of my most recent cityscape mini quilt<\/a> from Cloth Paper Scissors<\/a>, gave me the inspiration I needed – a Vancouver cityscape in solid colors and a modern, abstract style.<\/p>\n

When I think of Vancouver, I think of: colorful sunset skies, mountains, city skyline, water, and sailboats.\u00a0 This is how it evolved on my design wall.\u00a0 First, I selected my color palette.\u00a0 Second, I cut out the buildings and fused them to the mountains.\u00a0 Third, I added sunset clouds to the sky, and a reflection of the skyline in the water.<\/p>\n

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

 <\/p>\n

And finally, a few sailboats. Right now, they are just paper triangles pinned in place and will most likely include a few bright colors.<\/p>\n

Now I have to unpin it from my design wall and start sewing and quilting.<\/p>\n
