Waterway Waterway was the result of my desire to do more landscape quilts. A second wish was to try to make a dent in my stash of old blouses! The flowers are from blouse fabrics, while the greenery is from hand-dyed cottons. In making the water, I used a blue batik cotton fabric that was printed with dolphins. I cut the fabric into pieces. The darker pieces were fused near the bottom/front of the quilt, and the lighter pieces near the top/back to give a sense of perspective. I then fused on strips of blue blouse fabrics - again, dark in front and light in back, to add to the sense of perspective. And so, while there are dolphins swimming in my river, they're more spirit than reality, since it's almost impossible to see them. |
