Cyberspontaneity
Machine pieced, hand quilted
"Cyberspontaniety"
Machine pieced and hand quilted. This was porbably made in the early 1990’s, I was just learning to explore the internet and found a “art quilter’s reading list” (i think that is what it was called). The conversation was was all about using colour we weren’t used to using, to explore “odd” combinations. I started this and finished it quite quickly. It is still one of my favourites. No pattern, original design.
