Please meet "Why?" She is 50" x 38".
Rust dyes and hand dyes, thread painting. foiling.
The first challenge word was Puzzle. My very first response was "Why?"!
The quilt really made herself. I had just finished playing with some rust dyeing and the results were in a pile on the floor,waiting to be played with! I started to play and feel and cut and what I ended up with was a sandstone wall. One piece I couldn't cut! That is the centre panel. She grew like topsy. Everything I did just seemed to be the right thing to do.
What does the quilt mean? That's a puzzle to me!
What is the centre panel? That's a puzzle to me!
Why did I twist the original top and enlarge it? That's a puzzle to me!
New things learnt!

Looks great Sally! Love the limestone wall.
I like it. It's sort of an abstract landscape. Very pretty colors. I see you joined the post card challenge. Can't wait to see what you make.
just love the way you took this challenge.

I think it's wonderful!
This is lovely. It reminds me of an outdoor patio with some moss and greenery growing on the stepping stones.
Great interpretation, Sally. I love your use of all those techniques, too.
