New Work

This week I've been trying to work my way through the pile of unquilted tops.  I love piecing and I freely admit that sometimes I put off the quilting until a deadline is looming.  I'd much rather start on a new piece, planning, choosing fabrics, laying out the pieces, sewing them together....but eventually the tops need to be quilted.  For example, when you have entered them in a show that is coming up in a couple of weeks.  So I have been quilting like a madwoman.

I just finished this one about an hour ago.  I haven't measured it, just trimmed it, hung it and photographed it.  It is roughly 34" x 30".  Or something like that.  It is the second quilt in my new "Mineralogy" series, called Metaperidotite #2, based on sketches of mineral thin sections I drew many years ago as a geology student.

I finished this next piece yesterday.  It is roughly 25" x 34".  I made it with leftover scraps from a quilt called "Orbital Plane #1" which I cannot show because the show I have entered will disqualify it if it is shown online prior to the exhibit.
