Okay so I bit the bullet, now that I live in Chicago, I thought I would try my hand at a fused quilt. Actually, I have also been wanting to use some of the
fabric I dyed right before I moved, and fusing seemed to make the most sense, I am not much of a piecer. Besides I have a whole bolt of
Misty Fuse that I got from Esterita Austin.
Here is my inspiration, a lovely agave from the hillside by my old house in California. If this goes well, I have two more agaves I would like to do in a similar way. This one is the least complicated of the three, so I thought I would try this one first.
If I do make two more quilts like this, I am going to have to unpack my dyes to dye some more fabric. Now I am stuck with figuring out what to do with the background. I think it needs to be broken up, and I have a few colors in mind that I think would look good. But I am not quilte sure what to do with it yet.

I really like it. You have great fabric, and you have captured the light.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Judy! It's lovely!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really good.
ReplyDeleteI think it looks great. I am anxious to see it finished.
ReplyDeleteAs always, gorgeous! And I can see a whole range of background possibilities.... tangerine sunset colors, or aquas to fool the viewer... is it really an agave or is it undersea? next to a wall? a wild sky? Or sky blues, or dark greens, or more accurately, parched arid browns of the desert.... can't wait to see what you do!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Sarah
This looks great. Look forward to seeing how you finish.
ReplyDeleteThat looks wicked good so far.
