WOW: WIPs On Wednesdays


My WOW (WIP On Wednesday) this week is a quilt top

It’s an art quilt. I love the curved piecing, the shape really interests me. It’s super bright – this photo doesn’t do it justice, and it’s from my hand dyed stash. I love using my hand dyes. The idea with this WIP (it doesn’t have a name yet) was to create a central design with an original stencil of mine.

I have actually made the stencil…and cut it out…and mislaid it. I’m sure I saw it during the last tidy, so I have hung the quilt up (well, draped it over a ledge) to remind me, to get it done.

Another similar art quilt idea I actually finished was Upstream (this fish quilt, right) and this art quilt also used my own hand dyes and I stenciled the fish over the colour waves to create a design. I then stitched over the stenciled fish.


This is the feeling I get with this current quilt top. You can’t see much now, but with a lot of my art quilts, it comes together at different points, this top isn’t there yet. I’ll be glad when it’s finished.



With this type of quilt top, I really have to wait for the momentum to pick up again, it isn't something I feel I can force. (Excellent WIP Excuse #5)

    Oh gosh, I posted a link and it's only Tuesday here in US. For some reason I had wednesday on my brain all day. Well, I guess that gives me another day this week to get some of my projects caught up. LOL
    Love the idea of WOW and I'll try to get my day's right next week.

    Esther, I have a blog post to connect to the WIP link list but Google won't let me put it on (or, more likely, I just don't know what I'm going:)

    Here is my blog url for my 5/25 post:
