progress of a sort
Finished off the quilting, such as it is, on the weird batik this morning. Finally decided on a simple bisecting line quilting pattern to leave as much of the raw edge free as possible. It's in the washer now with some jeans and then into the dryer for a couple of hours to fray the edges. It's only lap size but it was originally a test piece for using the small strips exposed between the piecing. So far so good, and pictures later today I think. I'll also get a picture up of the bird mobile. At least it's hanging now and not stuck in a bag somewhere. It's funny how sometimes the simplest thing is the one that gets the most response from people. Everyone who has seen the birds loves them, including my husband!

I've noticed a similar thing. I wonder if it's because the "simpler" things are somehow more approachable or easier to understand by those who aren't in the arts/fiber arts?
(Remembering a relative who pointed to a very inexpensive, imported imitation of a quilt in my house and said "oh, did you make that?" while ignoring the intricate crazy quilted wall hanging behind her head.)
