Mistakes I Made on my Cliffs in Ireland Wallhanging
#22
Your piece is lovely but I had to chuckle at your first comment.
The pieces shrink as they get quilted and always end up smaller than they started.
I make a point of starting with my background at least 2 inches oversized all around. When it's finished I have the option of cutting off the excess or covering with the framing.
Hard lesson to learn.
You piece is very moving. I can almost hear the surf.

Your wall hanging is gorgeous -- great depth and perspective. Love the sky and water fabric esp. how they blend and contrast at the same time. I wold be very proud to hang that on my wall!
I love making art quilts and wall hangings -- they grow on you.
