Of course when I started to make it there were elements of the design that needed to be resolved. Next time maybe. I need to study that first quilt more before I write about it.
But that hazy design of a quilt let me on to this little gem--it is only 12 x 12 inches. Isn't it great though? Wondering if I should frame it? If only I had three of them. If there were a copy machine for quilts...
Yes, my astute readers will realize that it is an abstract of the quilt into the sky that I used in my poster which I just wrote about here. http://annbrauer.blogspot.com/2012/04/poster-thoughts-on-branding.html Now to make another little one and see what else I have learned.
And you--do you ever wake up early in the morning and envision a new quilt? Do they ever work? What do you think of this little piece?
Love this little piece, the fabrics are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI find most of my really good ideas come to me at night, just before I fall asleep. It's like my brain needs total relaxation in order to conjure up fresh ideas. Sometimes an entire piece will just pop into my brain - the colours, the design, the whole works. I've learned the hard way that when this happens I must turn on my bedside lamp and scribble the idea into the small sketchbook I keep beside the lamp. If I wait until morning, the idea is usually gone!
