“Space” is Latitude Quilts’ latest challenge. This idea came from a workshop that I took
from Susan Carlson about fabric collage.
The process was to take fabrics and cut out shapes that would be used to
enhance a drawn picture on a piece of muslin.
As you build your creation, you use glue to tack down the pieces and
once it is finished, the entire piece has a tulle overlay which is machine
stitched down. At the time of the
workshop, the theme had must been announced and I thought this technique
perfectly matched the theme. So, my
piece is simple called “Cosmos”

Your use of such a variety of B&W commercial fabric, unity out of "chaos" (as it were), is simply wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI like how your careful use of black and white/dark and light fabrics give a string impression of movement to your quilt. This is how I imagine Cosmos is.
ReplyDeleteIt was worth waiting for, after your post about Susan's class! The different fabrics do such a lot to make the surface interesting, while the shapes lead our eye round the swirls.
ReplyDeleteGreat sense of movement here. Your choice of fabrics is really successful.
