New Work

I've had a very productive week.  First of all, I finally created a Facebook page dedicated to my work.  Check it out HERE. And I also finished sewing 2 quilts in progress and one new piece. Tops only, but I'm excited to have them finished.

First, Subdivision 12. The top is 18" x 28". This piece has been sitting around my studio for months.

 The big mineral quilt. I have blogged about this before (click here to see my earlier post), but briefly, it is what I hope will be the first in a series of quilts based on sketches of mineral thin sections I drew when I was in college.  It is metaperidotite crystals in a dark matrix, and it is currently 58" square.

As I worked on this piece, I started to think about how I would quilt it. Should I quilt fracture lines in the crystal? Should I quilt mineralization zones in the matrix?  Hmmmm.

So I decided to make a small piece, about 25" square, to "test quilt."  I think it is a nice piece in it's own right.

This weekend I'm heading to the Texas Quilt Museum for the new Judith Content exhibit.  So I'll have all weekend to think about the quilting.  Any suggestions?

I'm linking this post to Nina-Marie's Off the Wall Friday, Richard and Tanya's Quilts Link a Finish Friday, Friday Fabric Frenzy, Confessions of a Fiber Addict and Crazy Mom Quilts Finish it up Friday.  Go see all the wonderful work there!
