It seems that whenever I am stuck I can always count on my fabric to lead me in an artistic direction. When I started this piece, I had totally different fabric in mind. As I started pawing around, the top two pieces jumped out at me. I love how they play off each other.
I fused the fabrics and then folded and played with layouts until I got this background.
I decided it would be best to do a reverse applique for the meandering river so I drew a meandering line and then took the rotary cutter to it. Here it is as I poked some turquoise silk under to see how it would look.
I am anxious to quilt this because I think the quilting will add a lot to the background.
The movie, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, was quite good. To fit it into almost 3 hours, many layers of the story had to be discarded. The director was there. He is Danish. It was fun to hear him talk about making the movie,
I haven’t posted the pup lately. Here he is in all his laid back glory.
I’m loving the quilt………..can’t wait to see how you quilt it!
Glad the movie was good………will have to check it out!
………..and then there’s that handsome devil the Scoots! Don’t they look like cherubs when they think we think they are sleeping! lol

Nagyon szeretem a kanyargós folyód .
a foltvarrásban én is szeretem szabadon ,minden korlát nélkül .
That’s looking wonderful! I had to stop going to see movies based on books I read. I am always disappointed and I drive my husband nuts constantly saying “this isn’t right”!
Gerri,
thanks for sharing–it’s so great to see how people stimulate themselves
That blue electrifies the piece! Can’t wait to see the next step!
You are a dynamo! There’s nothing like a deadline, is there?
It will be interesting to watch the progression of this piece…you have til Tuesday right?!!
