Rock Reflections Landscape Quilt

Every spare moment I have has been spent on my landscape quilt and I am happy to say that the top edge of it has been completed. I still have not patterned out the lower edge, which will be the reflections of the rock cliff in the water. That will not be done until the center section of the rock has been completed so I can determine what colours to use for the reflections. Looking at my progress so far, and the fact that I will be away for a week this month, I don't think it will be finished in time to enter it into the SAQA show "Concrete and Grasslands" with its deadline of September 30, 2015. Plus, I'd rather do a good job than quickly finish it and it not be done well.

There is, however, another SAQA show coming up that it might fit into. The show is called "My Corner of the World" and it is open only to Canadian SAQA members. The deadline is November 30/15 which will give me a little more time to finish the quilt. The premier location for the show will be in the Stratford Perth Museum, in Stratford, Ontario from May 21 to Aug 14, 2016. The work must be available to travel until December 2018 because it will be travelling to different venues. Also I must list the work for sale so I will have to determine a price for it which, for me, is very hard to do. I have been logging my hours of work so that will help in figuring out it's price.

I received this mug from a friend recently and I think it is beautiful! It has become my Art Day coffee mug.

I blogged earlier that this quilt is a little more detailed than my other landscape quilts and this little 3"x 3" piece gives you an idea of that. There are 22 pieces sewn together to make this section.

This is the section that is done so far. If you compare it to the painting below it you can begin to identify trees. The orange section is the top of the rock cliff. The rocks will be made up of orange, pink, purple and gray fabrics. You may find these strange colours for rocks, however, if you are ever up north when the sun is shining, the rocks appear to have those colours in them.
