Latest quilt. I had the fabric for years as I was making a throw for the ill fated sunroom that never happened. The fabric was cut and sewn into strips and I have no idea what the original design was. Not one of my favorites, but at least the fabric was used!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.A bold choice using red-green vibrating colors then neutralizing them with the purple. Chromostereopsis is a "No-No" in digital design: [cdgi.com]
"Chromostereopsis is a visual illusion where the impression of depth is conveyed in two-dimensional color images, usually of red-blue or red-green colors. These types of color combinations appear to vibrate when placed next to each other. This is especially problematic in digital environments. Some colors naturally appear to recede in space, while others seem to float forward. When certain colors are placed directly next to each other and are of the same spatial hue they appear to be moving or vibrating. All colors have a spatial relationship to each other."

@Gwendolyn2018 Yes, and framed in nicely with the lighter greens and purples.
Beautiful! Very bold colors. All my sewing ha been on the back burner until I finish a blanket for my grandson. It is crocheted. For the past several week it has had a home on my sofa because it is way too big for my lap. The good news is yesterday I started finishing the outer edges. I hope to have it done by Thursday, and in the nick of time too because it is starting to get cold. I am looking forward to getting back into my sewing room.

Good to know hand quilting is meditative.
With my unfinished quilt I'm impatient to see how it will look.
My offer of a place to store your quilts is done. I am just going to drive to your place and collect them. Never mind that I cannot remember which state you live in, I live in the state of confusion. Don't worry, if I start driving I will not get far. Not going east of Cathlamet in less I have to for medical reasons. Or some other great fiasco.

@Gwendolyn2018 It is especially hard to find if you don't know where it is.
You know there are Quilt Competitions all over the country, right? Fame! Prizes! Bragging rights!

Really nice: I love that you share your work! I really enjoy quilts — not sure what it is of all the many forms of arts and crafts I appreciate, but I’m sure to check out the quilts at a good county fair, and also get a kick out of the work done in the Native style by friends up on the High Plains in the US. Maybe because my fore-bearers were nomadic, so the combination of beauty, usefulness and portability? Also, I like that they can be created individually or as a group project. Here’s one with a Halloween theme I saw at a show by a local quilters’ guild.

Someone has real talent (and patience). What do you do with all these quilts?

@Gwendolyn2018 interesting, a friend here is a retired professor of art (ceramics) from the university of Miami. He built a large workshop and creates lot’s of great pieces. However, he won’t sell or even publicly show his work. We have an annual studio tour and he opened his shop once. So much talent and it’s mostly hidden away. We have a lot of quilters here and one year 8 quilts were submitted and accepted at the national quilting show in Texas. This was a big deal.
@Gwendolyn2018 Interesting part about vintage dishes. I spent years working on a rail to trail project in the mountains (known as the Iron Goat trail - the Iron Goat was the symbol for the Great Northern RR). [atlasobscura.com] The RR/trail contained several tunnels including one one could walk through. During a walk a guy accompanied us who was looking for dish pieces. The RR's all had their own design of dishware which they often changed. He said often some of the dishes were broken and the crews waited until they were in a tunnel to throw them out the window (for the sound). He was looking for (and did find some) large pieces so he could identify the probable year the dish was produced. Here's a link to some of the patterns. [etsy.com]
@Gwendolyn2018 Please do. Glad I could add to your knowledge of 'china.' BTW the track was built in 1893 so there may be some portions of china from that time.
