Strata
41" x 30", January 2021
Cotton fabrics. Soft-curve piecing technique borrowed from Jean Wells. Hand-quilted with cotton floss along random seams.
Technical challenges:  The design of this piece changed several times during construction because my original ideas turned out to be uninteresting, too complicated for me to execute, or both. The narrow border was made from fabric scraps that were too small and therefore required really tight seam allowances. I had cut out lots of little pieces for a design direction I ended up abandoning and didn't want to waste them (not yet having realized that you can always use tiny scraps in a different project).
