Quilt du Jour

Sunrisesunset_1

(Here is a new photo taken this morning sans flash. Show the colors better. I also did some maintenance on the zigzag (ravioli) edges.)

This quilt is about 14" by 18" and is made from silks hand-dyed – some by me and some were purchased. The title of this is Sunrise, Sunset. The inspiration came from a rug I once saw in a catalog. I love working in the grid format and I think this design warrants a larger version. I just took the photo tonight and I think I need to photograph it during the day without a flash. The colors are not quite true.

This quilt a day is turning into a very wonderful experience for me. I am actually working on them after dinner so I am not spending all day. I am proving to myself that I can come up with a design idea and execute a prototype fairly quickly. It is good to get some of these ideas out of my head and into fabric.
