For those of you who have been reading my blog for awhile, you might remember some posts focused on 'decisions'. It was one of my design it myself pieces, I started back in Spetember of 2008. I got as far as this...
I fused all my scrolls on, then started appliqueing them and stopped. Why? Well I am sure I had a bunch of reasons back then, that sounded good... hahaha..... But 15 months in a drawer, let's be real.... ughhhh....Oh, I loved the fabrics and colors, so it wasn't that it wasn't speaking to me anymore. No, it was fear!!!!
That's right, I said it! I was afraid of the piece. I saw this really wonderful top, that was calling for wonderful quilting and I just knew that I wasn't up for the task. At least not at a place mentally that I 'thought' I could do a decent job quilting it. All those open spaces.... I couldn't just do free motion meandering... what a waste of a pretty piece that would be!
But now .... I think I am ready. 15 months of practicing and I think I am up to the challenge!
Now one more DECISION... what to quilt... feathers.... more scrolls.... do I do some trapunto???
Hmmmmppphhhh.....
