Well, I did it . . . I created my first "Art Quilt".
Last year, my visit to the International Quilt Festival inspired me to no end to one day aspire to make beautiful art quilts. So far, I've thoroughly enjoyed putting together quilts by using patterns and fabrics from my favorite textile artists. And I'm content to continue in that manner for a while longer. However, I had purchased a bit of fabric while at the Quilt Festival with the hopes of using it for my interpretation of Klimt's "The Kiss". Realistically, that quilt is a long way off so I decided to make a wall hanging for above the bed in our Master Bedroom.
The fabrics that I considered
My inspiration
Buttercup loves to sleep on my works in progress . . .
There are definitely things I'd change - I wanted to do uneven and crooked pieces yet I didn't know how to achieve that result.
I think it's alright for a first attempt, a first time . . .
And it fills up the blank space above the bed
