I took all those pieces from yesterday and today I sewed them together. When I had the two pieces above, I then sewed them together.
But no matter how I looked at them, it just didn’t work. I couldn’t imagine what came next.
So I took them apart again.
Now I had two pieces to work with and framed them both the same.
But once again I was stuck. No matter what I did, I couldn’t see them as a quilt that worked. It was when I was outside letting the animals out to graze that I knew I had to once again disassemble what I had done.
If I had some smaller pieces to work with I could see the quilt coming together in my mind.
Back in my studio, I cut the smaller piece into four separate pieces. They definitely worked as one piece, but not for this quilt.
I have a better sense now of what will happen next, although I’m not exactly sure what it is. But I know I’ll be able to figure it out.
