I've been sewing the blocks of the Jewel toned Macnas quilt together the old fashioned way. In the photo above all the blocks are sewn together into rows and except for the bottom two, the rows are sewn together in pairs, so all, (you know, that pesky "all") I have to do is sew those together and the flimsy will be complete. This one may or may not have a home yet. I haven't quite decided.
This is the backing fabric I have chosen for the Yellow Macnas quilt,
and this is the one I have chosen for my nephew's quilt, Dancing Jewels. Both are quilt backings, so quite large pieces. I have to iron them and get them organized.
This past weekend my local art museum, The Currier Museum, had a show where garden groups from throughout the state were invited to do floral arrangements based on artwork in the museum. This is one of my favorite pieces in the museum, and you can see the floral arrangement beside it. I am always interested in how artists get inspired, so this was a great show to see. I was fortunate enough to be there when the floral designers themselves were available to discuss their thought processes that led to their creations.
