The Quilts Left on my Screen-Saver

 I undertook a huge project of going back & editing all my blog entries! Good lord. It took a long time. Sometimes my edits didn't "stick" so I had to find work-arounds & re-editing for that. Originally I thought I might print out a copy of some of the entries for posterity & then I realized that this idea was too crazy-making for me. Still I'm very glad I went through this process. The type is smaller, the images more compact & some of my remarks seemed too silly to keep!

But I have quilts left over from the last two posts on my screensaver. I want to deal with them just because they are all there, ready for use, & I can do it fairly easily.

There are some series that I want to share. One was born from a very unsatisfying quilt attempt which got cut in 4 equal pieces & infused with a color: white, yellow, black & green. Those were the main colors in the unsatisfying quilt, so it made sense not to introduce new colors. The four quilts wound up in different places which was fine with me.

The other series I called "Dots & Stripes". The three quilts are: Stripes & Dots, Dots, No Stripes, & No Dots, No Stripes. I kept the same basic structure for each of these 3.

There was also a Middle East Series, inspired by carpet patterns. I have complete images of only two of them. I dyed the cloth for these.

There were two accidental/coincidental very similar quilts both made while in a workshop with Nancy Crow. She was/is very fond of giving students two color exercises. The first one  I don't have the whole image for. Damn! I love the juicy 'lines' in this one. Nancy thought it was "too easy", so that's what I called it.

 

The other one...

Sometimes my quilts come out quite bland. Interesting, but not dramatic. Here are two.

 

The shape on which I based this quilt gave some viewers the willies. I "saw" the problem but pressed on.

Some people saw it as being uncomfortably close to the swastika.
That's it for now.
