I renamed the Drip quilt to 'Echos of the Grand Canyon' because..well, it reminds me of the Grand Canyon, in a vague sort of way.
It is long...it is thin...it has very many warts..but it is also DONE!!!
Started in January 2014 in a class with Katie Pasquini Masopust called 'Watercolor Painting to Quilt', it now qualifies as a quilt. (It's even labeled)
I couched various threads, yarns and fibers onto the seams of the applique. That was the most fun part (besides painting the original) of this quilt - finding the embellishments! The border fabric is very strange..it's crispy (even after washing) and has an odd odor when the iron hits it (so its NOT quilting fabric)..But..it was the best piece in my stash for the borders..I had just enough to make the facing out of the same fabric - I just think facings look better when they match the front fabric.
Only place where I could hang it for its portrait and be able to the see the whole quilt to was the door at the end of the hallway!
