Done

Five months ago I started an experiment. I took two of my finished quilts and cut them up into pieces to merge them into one. Through the process I felt excitement, despair, confidence and doubt. I had to put it aside a few times to take the time to look at it sideways, upside down and cut in half. I stitched over it, under it and through it. Then I cut it up some more. And stitched again.

And now I am done. Here is the final result. A piece I am calling Brood (65” x 65”).
