Well, my first one was a wash.....still have some of the same ideas. My colors aren't as vivid, but the design is very simple and I'm hoping the quilting will give it what it needs. We'll see. It is nature inspired. I think art quilts are very different from patchwork. I'm having fun with it now and I hope someone will enjoy getting it.

abd, guess I didn't reveal much in the way of ideas...I use art.com for inspiration and I love trees, so trees it is. I'm going to colorize them to give a needed punch of color and am using sharpie permanent pens with alcohol. There's a combination of applique and regular piecing before machine quilting. Gosh, I hope it works out.
