The Quilt Walk

 A bright and shiny day, just perfect for a walk. Yet, it is not really warm any more, during the nights, temperatures are just 5-6°C (41-43° F), and at daytime, they hardly go beyond 18° (64° F). The wind is pretty icy.

 "Looks like Chernobyl", said my husband. He was carrying the object I intended to photograph.

 We went to a small lake near our home.

 What is shining thru the quilderness?

 Or creeping over a quillow?

 It is a just finished object of textile art.

 

Showing its reverse down by the water.

My husband was very helpful displaying the object which is only 2 layers thick on some spots, so the sun is really shining thru and the colors are as you see them, no help of digital remastering.

The hedge is just right to display the full format. And here is the artist in full format.

Thank you for walking with us!

Binding Finished

... and I'm dashing into bed. Tomorrow is our National Day, we'll take a walk and I want to take better pictures out in nature. So expect nicer colors tomorrow!

The Binding is Still Due...

But the rest of the quilt is coming closer to being finished. I'm still pondering if I should mark all the crossings on the reverse with the 45°-angle positioned squares, as I have done on the front side. It just means that these spots will consist of up to 10 layers of fabric... I'm also thinking of a surprise binding; so there might be something coming for your pleasure. Hopefully.
The reverse color distribution is mere serendipity. I arranged the front tiles and later looked at the reverse. It was beyond control.

Sewing the bridges was a lot of work, and I pricked my fingers a few times, as I tried to stitch the bridges which were in the middle part. But sewing stripes of tiles would have meant to arrange the tiles already, and I preferred to be free in my choice till close to the end.
