New Art Quilt - "Ocean Echoes"

Ocean Echoes

26 x 19.5"

I love fabrics stores with "scrap bins!"

The bin in this particular shop was more like a scrap wagon, filled with goodies. I rummaged inside, (head down, feet up!) trying to decide if dumping the whole thing on the floor would be ok. It's so frustrating when I see a fragment I want at the bottom but the pile of fabrics I've been holding back collapses and hides it! In the end, I found nice sized pieces of the fabrics in this quilt which spoke to me of water and peace. I hope you like it.

I do like it Geri; it is a lovely piece, as is your theme! I think that your scrap-searching gymnastics were very much worth the effort. Well done!

Thank you so much Georgianne! It was a peaceful quilt to create.

Another lovely piece, Geri! You know how we love our color and this one has a lot of that, but it's more monochromatic, which I find so refreshing! There are times I love using various shades of the same color family and you took this idea and added your signature spin on it making it "so Geri"! It's wonderful!

Even though I can't sew, I do use some fabric in my art. I, too, love finding those bargain bins of remnants or fat quarters and such. I can't resist those for some reason. I really, really go nuts though if I'm at a thrift shop or similar and find some vintage or retro fabrics or actual aprons, linens and such.

Anyway, it's another beauty by Geri and I so wish I could just jump into that ocean right now!

Thank you so much Shauna!
