FIGHTING WITH A QUILT

 After all these years of creating one-of-a-kind art quilts....one would assume ups and downs are the norm.  My last Japanese inspired piece went so smoothly...it almost made itself.

This current one fought me every step of the way.  Too many 'do-overs'!!  Yet, that's what keeps me engaged, always striving to make the best piece I can......not only in regard to the design, but the construction as well.
