“Walk in the Park” is Day 30–the Project is Finished!
I did it! “Walk in the Park” is Day 30 of my 30 art quilts for the month of March project. When I started this project back on March 1, I must admit I wasn’t completely sure whether I’d be able to do it all in one month. Life got in the way and I…
“Townhouses” is Day 29 – Almost Finished!
Well–it’s March 31 and “Townhouses” is the next to last top in my 30 art quilts for the month of March project! I have one more top to make today and then the project will be finished. I’m quite proud of this accomplishment! This piece went through several incarnations–I originally thought I would make separate…
“Assorted Marbles” is Day 28
“Assorted Marbles” is Day 28 of my art quilt a day for the month of March project. I’m really looking forward to seeing all of the Marbles pieces hung together! There’s a great deal of unity in the simplicity of the designs and the strong colors–I think they work as a series best of the…
“Passages” is Day 27
“Passages” is Day 27 of my art quilt a day project for the month of March. This is a very different design from most of the rest–you might notice that I started with the leftover wonky stripes from yesterday’s block. I like the way the bright bits of color move through the space. I can…
“Around the Block” is Day 25
“Around the Block” is Day 25 of my art quilt a day project for the month of March. This is actually the piece that just didn’t gel from a few days ago. After a few days’ perspective, I reworked it and I’m happier with it now. One of the issues I’ve encountered during this project…
“Water’s Edge” is Day 24
“Water’s Edge” is Day 24 of my March art quilt project. I went back to the subtle colors of “Skyscrapers” from a couple of days ago, but decided to cut the fabrics with a freehand curve instead of straight to see what would happen. I like the energy where the horizontal lines meet and the…
“Marble Maze” is Day 23
“Marble Maze” is Day 23 of my one art quilt a day project for the month of March. I’m getting down to the end–maybe I should have picked February! The Marble theme is one I keep coming back to–I think there are seven of these pieces now. They’re interesting to design because there seem to…
“Forest Path” is Day 21
Going back to a simpler idea, “Forest Path” is Day 21 in my art quilt a day for the month of March. Yesterday’s piece, “Block Party,” was a fairly complex design, so I decided today to go back to basics. I really enjoy making these units I call “wonky stripes,” especially when they are sewn…
“String of Marbles” is Day 17
More marbles! “String of Marbles is Day 17 of my one art quilt top a day for the month of March. I auditioned several background fabrics for this one, and the bright yellow seemed to be the best choice. Could be because it seems like it’s finally spring and the daffodils are blooming! I do…
