Ch. 53, Mesa Verde

I choose Mesa Verde as my theme for this month's challenge on depth.  For those who have visited Mesa Verde, you will know that the dwellings are built into the side of steep canyon walls.  This view is from across the canyon, showing the land in the foreground, and the land above the cliff dwellings on the other side of the canyon.

This is an applique, size 17 1/2" x 18 1/2".  Materials used are commercial fabrics, dye sticks for shading, and a fabric marker to outline the dwellings.  It is not yet quilted, as I haven't decided if it will stand alone, or be joined to more scenes of the area. I still have several ideas I'd like to try.

Thank you, in advance, for your comments.
