On this blog the members of Sky-is-the-Limit group show the results of the challenge quilts they make. We started with each quarter a new theme, but have changed this to a monthly theme. Knowing that life can interfere with good intentions it is not compulsary to make a quilt each month, but at least 4 quilts per year should be doable. Every quilt measures 12"x12".

Monsters Inc
My favourite film is Monster Inc, for all sorts of reasons. I love the Pixar movies in general but we saw Monsters Inc on the weekend of my fortieth birthday in a cinema in Dublin.
I decided that I wanted to do an abstract piece rather than a figurative one so here it is. The purple spots are reverse appliqued, it was a challenge to make the toenail/ horn pieces as I seemed to have forgotten all I ever knew about foundation piecing and realised that it was easier just to curve piece. The green represents Mike Wazowski and the pink Boo. I wondered about putting Mike's eye in the piece but decided it might look rather like an "all seeing" eye.

What a lovely idea to do an abstract. This is such a lovely film too.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen the film ,but I love your abstract quilt.
ReplyDeleteClever to do the film title as abstract. Love the spotty fabric for monster, so suitable.
