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".

Wonder of Life ........ theme - Cosmos
I have some black fabric that I bought years ago. It has silver stars on it. I spattered and painted white acrylic paint and also fabric paint with a bit of silver in it to represent the theme. I made a stencil and screen printed the child figure. I quilted with metallic thread which I hate using in an intermittent circle pattern, one thread was silver with touches of other colours and then used sparingly a gold metallic that had strong touches of red and blue and used it also to outline the figure.

Looking good Irene
ReplyDeleteReally interesting.
ReplyDeleteReally like the intermittent circle quilting. It makes me imagine the lines connect, but still allows for something to "maybe" slip outside. It's a good use of the push-pull concept.
ReplyDeleteVery effective
