This was interesting. It is the first time I've tried deconstructing. The original is a sample I made from a pattern by Ruth McDowell in "The Experts' Guide to Foundation Piecing". I wanted to see if I liked her method. This was just a little piece (10" x 7.5"). I knew I'd never do anything with it---not my own design. However, I AM working on a quilt using her method.
Flood Receding (8 3/8 6.5) is my deconstructed piece.
Pictures?
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you were able to take a sample from a pattern and turn it into something more your own.
ReplyDeletePictures are loaded...so don't worry. When I posted the prior comment, they hadn't loaded yet.
ReplyDeleteI like your deconstructed piece. I wonder if the addition of another fabric might not give it more life?
ReplyDeleteJust a thought :)
Hi Sally, Isn't it fun to just slice something up! It looks like you were trying to preserve the tree to a certain degree. I think it could be a little more interesting to mix it up more so there not such an expanse of blue and expanse of green. It would more it more abstract and dramatic.
ReplyDeleteI do like the fabrics you used and how the limbs got jumbled up.

I liked your original piece - but it worked with the reconstruction. It tells a nice story.
