I've seen lots of pix on Pinterest of Map type quilts so I guess it's a big thing. Any who, after I got home from my plane ride in April I started really looking around the internet and found a wealth of pictures and ideas for Arial View Quilts.
I have at least a couple of pounds worth of green scrapes so I started to sort. I managed to cover pretty much every available surface in my play area!
I also have this wonderful print that I've been saving for probably at lease 20 years. I have two yards of it. I think it will make a wonderful border!
Ive seen a lot of Arial views that are grid like but I think I would like to try for a more random view. Kind of like what I saw from the plane.
They still have squares and rectangles of fields but it's not so N/ S and E/ W.
Even tho' the brown patches are part of the landscape in our Draught plagued part of the world I think I'm going to make it more green than brown...
Well after all that play and pondering I still have a few CZU quilts to quilt so the arial landscape will have to wait for a little while.
Seek shade, stay cool...
take care, cw
What a wonderful project! I agree with subbing some green. Nobody said quilts had to be pictorially accurate!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! Where's the fun in that?!
DeleteAnd you're still quilting CZU quilts?!?
ReplyDeleteYup, just a few left...
DeleteThat looks like fun, Claire. I’ll look forward to what you create!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandy!
