| Beginning of River Quilt |
Requirements are a mini quilt - no bigger than a fat quarter to depict a scene from a Florida river. The river must flow left to right, and be between 2" and 5" at the entrance and exit of the quilt. So guess what I'm working on. Yep. You guessed it, the aforementioned art quilt. I have several hours in so far and there are clearly many more to go but I believe it is a good start.
This has a solid muslin first layer with the details all turned edge and pinned in place. I am planning to quilt this rather densely allowing the movement of the quilting to add depth. Any thoughts?

Oh...I love your your river quilt...how fun. I have only been to one guild meeting in my area...I know several ladies in the guild but I also know there are some "divisions," in the group so I just decided to wait a while and see if those calm down someday. I think they had a big turn over recently in their board so maybe it has some potential now.
This is going to be an interesting quilt. Are you planning on putting some Florida wildlife into the scene such as an aligator, Florida panther, or perhaps a crane? Or manybe some native plants or flowers?
I'm interested in hearing your take on the guild, but I agree, make the art quilt and see it hanging in a gallery, awesome!
