Quilt Story :: sunshine & anemone

  

:: Mini Quilt for project quilting 15.2 ::

The prompt for Project Quilting 15.2 was "Take inspiration from the colors of the sky, but exclude or use less than 10% of the usual blue." Immediately I thought of fog - the vail that mutes colors and sounds - mysterious and calm. I wanted to try improv, ruler-free piecing, and pulled fabrics from my scrap bag that matched the mood I hoped to create. I pieced two nine-patch blocks, a little log cabin, and a very wonky star. I used more scraps to puzzle them together. This piece was quilted with loosely straight lines and finished with a faced binding with integrated hanging corners. It finishes at 8" x 8".

in a sunshine plastic boat
past the gentle break

salt aquamarine edge dampened fog

laughter tumbled past sticky lungs

spongy pores rung out water

held tight, eased away, through pull, swell, and crash

anemone and pearl land at my feet
