Whoever said Notan is addicting is right! I did a second Notan of trees and decided to just flip the paper to one side, rather than all four sides. I also did not make the image symmetrical. I liked the way it looked and proceeded to make a small quilt which measures 10" x 21". Instead of using the method of flipping and gluing (like I did on my previous quilt - post is below this one) I traced the paper pattern onto wonder under and fused it to each fabric and then cut out and fused each piece down (the orange on the dark brown and visa versa). This was far neater and simpler and faster than trying to flip the actual fabric and glue it down. I sort of wish I had reversed the dark and light so that there was more of the light background showing within the trees. The quilt has very little quilting - I just stitched along the edge of the fused fabric. Comments welcome.
You ended up "breaking" the rules but coming up with a wonderful quilt. A true artist who starts with a common idea and makes it your own. I love the light background fabric. I like your idea of doing the two halves separately too. Much easier to do that with fabric.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love your nature theme. I think it remains true to the concept of equal positive and negative space.
