I am a little behind in posting since moving again. These are the charity quilts I have completed since moving here. I had been working on these two for a long time - those are two inch half square triangles. This was made from a kit for my new local guild. The three following were reworks of partial quilts picked up at a garage sale. I finished and donated these. And below is my latest for my new group that quilts for veterans.
I have learned that I must write everything down, at least initially until I use it many, many times. I need to start a chart of all the shortcuts. In the Architectural Fantasy Project I needed to be reminded, again, to keep the lighting intensity the same on all the picture components. I really liked doing the architectural combination, once I got started. However, it was hard for me to think of something creative. The first one I did included foliage.

I learned that it is hard to have the foliage look like the top layer without individually cutting out each blade extending upward. I was fascinated by the idea of combining long hallways, appearing as choices the viewer can make.

As we got into virtual space I immediately realized that you can no longer “believe everything you see”. It is now possible to create a picture of almost anything. What fun it is to combine various pictures, and design and brand new reality. I learned to save often and not necessarily on top of the last save. Sometimes you may want to go back and pick up in the midd...
