Design
Concept
This quilt is the first of a series of quilts based on photos
taken at dawn on a beach. This beach is on Kauai in an area where
we were the first humans of the day to walk on the sand.
The figures were appliqued onto a background fabric which is quilted with several different colors of thread, using patterns created by ocean waves on sand as the tide recedes. To create the quilting design, I resized my photograph, enhanced the contrast, and projected the lines in the sand onto the quilt top. Then I drew the lines with brown and white colored pencils. I quilted around each of my pencil lines, using darker thread on the bottom and lighter thread on the top. Then I filled in the spaces in between with thread that matched the background fabric. The footprints were outlined and left unquilted. I echo quilted the figure rather than extending the background lines through it.
The fabrics are both from my second collection of "Gradations" by Benartex, and are available in our Internet Store at www.bryerpatch.com. |
