two weeks in august

the great
Two weeks in august. Under the ez up-
Color and light came in- technique went out sort-to-say or was refined anyway to fit the air; there was no worry with having the curved piecing eased in so that things were flat.

On the quilting frame the needle will adjust and take-up the slack.

I saved and then resurrected pieced "passages" not used in other quilts- it helped with speed and added to an appropriation of things that are already mine.

The whole things leans in the direction of being part of a series that uses abstract landscape to bring together assorted work on that theme.

The quilt top alone- 95 inches wide at the top and 45 inches high. It sort of has the shape of a fan now- and I might never square it off but leave it to have a Japanese fan reference.

And here on the frame ready for quilting. Only the back is attached to two of the poles the batting and the top are only attached to the front pole as they are pinned to the back.

Quilting continues with black glazed cotton in a freehand diagonal "stepped" zig-zag pattern.
