Remember this idea? Well I got this commission finished up about a week ago. My first finish of 2013.
It's a big queen sized quilt. And look, I'm taking a flat photo of it! Very exciting stuff. This is because for Christmas my husband got me a great photography set up for my big quilts.
Until the day comes that I have some fabulous enormous studio space where I can shoot my big quilts, this will be my set up! I need to figure out a better clip and hang system than the clothes hangers but I will... and then I'm hoping that I get the gumption to take it different places beyond my sister's back yard.
Here's a detail of the quilt after I'd washed it (these first photos are before I washed it) and it got that nice crinkle. I'd say that the colors are truest in this photo.
The orange is Kona flame and boy is it bright! But in this sea of blue it works. I was thinking about using negative space differently in this quilt... sorta like I pieced it with all of the blue. I know it doesn't really read that way, but it's an idea I hope that I find more time time to explore in the future!
