last two quilts for class

sigh. class is over. It was great, I learned a lot and there are still so many links and resources to get through. It pushed me to work hard and I have an inkling of what I am capable of doing. In the hecticness of summer I made 5 40"x40" (approximately) pieces, each of which i am proud of!

My classmates did AMAZING work. I wish I could share some with you! I think you will be seeing their work in publications and art galleries soon!

Assignment 3:


The assignment was to take our reference photo (for this I used assignment 2) and change the shape of the form, so I straightened out the curve and the angle of the diamonds. It was the week before SolarFest, so I was thinking about global warming and how so many people are ignoring it or denying it. Can you see my anger?

here is number 4:





a little more cheerful, no? This assignment was to change the lines up a bit, so I "shot" through the outer curves and this is the shape I got.

Assigment 5:

The assignment was to take a reference piece and make it more elaborate or more simple. I thought that number 4 was on the simple side, so I added to it... more fabrics, more threads, more quilting, more shapes.
