This is a preview of a project I'm working on for my friend Sarah G. who has asked me to play around with some ideas for an art quilt for her new house. Here is a mini-version of what I'm thinking of doing.
Sarah loves these art quilts by Mimi Damrauer. And I love this quilt by Denise Schmidt. I think this little art quilt falls somewhere between the two and that makes me happy. I picked colors that remind me of Brown County, Indiana, a place we both love.
This mini-sample is only about 5x6 inches. I anticipate the final product will be more like 3x4 feet. And calling it a quilt may be a stretch. I don't plan to do any traditional piecing OR quilting on it thanks to the wonders of iron-on transfer fabric.
Oh, you creative women (and men?) out there, what do you think about the overall colors and irregular/regular shapes? Is there too much of the blue fabric? Leave a comment and have a hand in designing my first "art quilt".
