mockup of Little Bear's quilt
This is a sketchy layout of a quilt I'm working on, with nothing sewn together yet. At this point it looks better viewed in thumbnail form:

The curves, of course, will look smoother once it's sewn together -- but also, the optical illusion will work better when I have a bunch more fabrics representing more tints and shades. If you happen to have any scraps of quilters' cotton you want to contribute, in saturated colors and relatively monochromatic, I'd appreciate them. Anything that's at least 3.5 inches is useful.

I've got a bunch of scrap cotton in saturate shades that would work for this quilt. We had been talking about having a sewing projects day anyways. And I happen to have both a serger and 2 regular sewing machines in the house right now. Shall we make plans to actually see each other sometime soon?

That's super-fun. That's the kind of color-play that I like to do with watercolors.

this looks amaaaaaaaaaaazing.

btw.. was at an event last night and a person mentioned they had materials they chose for a quilt, had gotten a little bit done, it's been 15 years and they don't think they will ever have the time to finish it, they are looking for someone they can pay to turn their dream quilt into a reality quilt. Is this something you would be interested in doing, and if so when would you be free to work on it? if you aren't interested in that type of project, do you know other quilters who might be? I can pass their contact info along to her..
