Quilt title: Fall Color in Northern California
Related State Park: Auburn State Recreation Area
Quilt Size: 20" by 20" Inspiration: California has some of the most beautiful state parks in the nation, and the diversity is simply amazing. Of all the seasons, fall has always been my favorite, when the leaves turn and the air is crisp. This art quilt was inspired by the fall colors encountered during a trip through the spectacular Auburn State Recreation Area. It was created by cutting many colors of fabrics into tiny (1/8 inch or smaller) bits, placing them in separate piles, and then sprinkling them onto the background, using them like paint to create the layers and leaves of the trees and bushes. Once the fabric bits are placed on the background, which includes the tree trunks and rocks (which are also fabric, shaded with paint) the piece is covered with tulle to hold the tiny pieces in place, and then quilted. |
