I started this improv about 2 years ago and it's been sitting in my UFO pile waiting to be machine quilted. Today, I decided to get it out of the pile and finish it. Since I don't really care too much how it is quilted, I just started with vertical lines and added a few spaces with swirls and pearls to practice. This is strictly a scrap quilt, as you can see, I wouldn't normally choose these colors to go together. I just pulled these randomly from my scrap bag, chopped them up and went to work sewing them together. What I really like about this quilt is the scale of the "seeds".
When I attended City and Guilds quilting course in the 1990's, my favorite artist at the time was Georgia O'Keefe and her enlarged flowers and landscapes. I'm happy I have a finished UFO, but now I would like to explore more on the enlarged scale and see where that will take me. I certainly have enough scraps to experiment with.
