Quite some time ago my SIL shared a photo she took of her family strolling Sea Side Beach, Oregon.
It's been in the back of my mind for a long time.....pondering about using some 'artistic license' to create a similar scene.
As all of you quilters know.....it can take a surprising amount of time to find the right fabrics as one digs through their stash.
And...just when you think you have.....you change your mind.
Adding details/motifs can further alter your decision process.
But one keeps plugging away, adding - subtracting till the quilt gives the okay. I'm NOT there yet (or should I say, my wall quilt hasn't given the okay). Do come back and see where this goes.

That shadow photo is brilliant and I'm sure that your interpretation will be, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's a process for sure, but those fabrics look just right for this. I'll be back to see!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one whose quilts talk to me. :) I'm liking where this one is going! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI like how it’s coming along. You can’t rush art. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful photo and your interpretation of it is a wonderful process to watch. Looking forward to your progress.
ReplyDeleteInterpreting versus copying is what gives a piece soul. Thanks for sharing your decisions. Can't wait to see the next phase of additions and subtractions.
