It's the re-design of the sky and foreground of my Glacial Recession piece. All those little blocks of color were drawn out and colors chosen from a limited palette. Was it a pain? Yes. Why did I do it? Because I think it's the best way to make this come out like my "vision." Each of those pieces has a number and letter(s) to distinguish it from it's friends, and each one will be cut out and pieced together. The whole quilt is designed so that all I have to do is sew in straight lines. Yay!
Ok so why did I redesign the sky? (If you haven't and you want to see the timelapsed progression of the sky as I've worked on it, go to my last post on this subject.) Well, it's currently a little too "Picasso" for me. It's supposed to be a little blocky- abstract- if you will. And it just feels weird to me. I am taking my friend Mindy's advice and waiting until the rest of it is together before I re-cut the sky, but I have a feeling that's what's going to happen.
Just tonight, I've finished cutting out pattern pieces for the foreground and started some more dyes specifically for that area. This past weekend I spent some time picking out more fabrics for the green mountain on the right and I'll get that timelapse posted when I get to it.
I really like the design, if you look to the color of the piece it may give you peace of mind. So refreshing!-paper shredder-
