Another month gone, another
Free Bee block turned in late. I think I have a hard time following the rules when it comes to quilting. The instruction for the block (given by
Mari Haak, herself a VERY inspiration quilter herself!) was to base your inspiration on an
urban photograph and use neutral, darker tones. Her suggestion was to study the
work of Elizabeth Barton, to see how she interprets landscape in fabric. I think that's where I went astray...instead of focusing on a photograph, I decided to take my inspiration from another textile artist,
Karen Goetzinger and a piece of Marimeko fabric.
Here is what I came up with. You can see how others interpreted the challenge over on
Flickr. I'm not crazy about mine and wish I had more time to play with it, but even though February gave me an extra day, I've run out of time and must send it off!
It is fabulous...I wanted colour as well, so it's perfect. I can't follow rules either. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteDon't underestimate yourself, Stacey. ;-) I love this block, and I think that it will look great with all the other blocks.
