Thought I give you all a tantalizing peek at my next structured fabric quilt:
This is one of the ideas that has been fermenting in my brain for the last couple of weeks. It all started with a browse through my book on the art of Vasarely. One of the works of art depicted there caused something to click in my mind. After a few nights sleeping on it I decided on using the colour burst piece of fabric from my Shibori dyeing as the weft fabric for some structured checks. On Thursday evening I did some experimenting with other fabrics from my stash. I discarded the original idea of using gauzey fabric and was surprised to find a good use for some strips hanging around from a long abandoned log cabin idea.
This afternoon I took the rotary cutter to the fabric, which was a bit nerve wracking to start off with. But once over the initial reluctance was actually quite fun. I have finished all the weaving now and the WIP is presently residing on the cellar floor. It’s time for a rest and maybe a nice glass of wine now, while I contemplate my next move.
