what have I got myself into?

I have a plan.  It involves this

which lead to this

and a whole lot more like it.

I am making progress, I will have a reveal, but I can't say it will 100% done!

Looking forward to seeing everyone's art on Sunday!

Cheers!

Feeling the music

 I get ideas in my head when a new challenge is announced
but most of them never come to fruition.

This theme was no exception!

Perhaps some day I will learn the skill of sketching out my ideas on paper!

As the deadline loomed,
I looked at musical photos, 
musical videos,
 and finally
musical quotes.
While I feel like this may not be the most original idea
I resorted to my love of text to portray this theme....


using some musical black and white fabrics (of course!)
that have been in my stash for a while
along with some of my newer hand dyed fabrics
to create this quilt...


Oddly enough,
while I aimed for the 16" x 20" size suggested by Janet, 
my piece came out to be 18 7/8" x 20 5/8".
(Yes, I usually am odd!)


I think I may try to add some embellishing -
I started playing with some beading in the "i"-
(and if I do, I will post an updated photo!)
but I did manage to finish this one in time 
for our extended deadline.
