Hooray! I am finally blogging again! This is a landscape piece I started at QSDS but just couldn't seem to get anywhere with it. I almost threw it away twice but grabbed it and tucked it inside a drawer. Now I am really glad I saved it because I really like the end result. Below is after quilting and before cropping. After I cropped it, I realized that was what it needed all along. It is made using my hand dyed fabrics.
Before cropping and detail below
The hand dyed fabric reminded me of a stream running through a meadow, so I just went with it when I quilted it. I had an old frame handy and decided I liked it framed. It is 8"x10" inside an 11"x14" frame.

I love it .... thanks.
It's lovely!
looks great! I see you cropped off the left side that you didn't like.
Fabulous...now did you save the blue sky you cropped off? You could make some wonderful inchies with that!
:o)
Thanks for the nice comments! After I cropped the right side and part of the sky, I have enough left to make a small 5x7 maybe...we'll see. (Or about a hundred inchies!)LOL!
What a lovely quilt. Very evocative of a warm summer day.
The framing accentuates the colors with the white matting. I agree that the cropping was beneficial. What a nice piece Vivian. Very nice.
gorgeous, Vivian! Your work is always worth the wait!
And again a lovely quilt. Cropping made all the difference
Beautiful! And the quilting really enhances the design.
Gorgeous!!
