Thanks to all.

I have a few picks of the next step.

It's really beautiful! You are very talented.

You are truly an artist!!!

I love those drapes!!! WOW!!!
Your threadpainting/quilting is gorgeous too!!! :D:D:D
Thank you for the update

Thanks Ray for the update. WOW :shock: it is coming along so beautiful, really eye popping! I love it.

I love, love, love, your quilt. What a talent you have!

I love, love, love it!!! What a fantastic piece of art you created!! Did I say I love it? :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :D

I love it - reminds me of my nana - she was a tattooed lady. She had Japanese legs!

Oh my goodness...! Fantastic! (Wiping the drool off my keyboard!:) ) I love oriental fabrics and have been collecting smallish amounts of them for about a year. I have some of this fabric too. I am soooo in envy of talented people like yourself that can take beautiful fabric and make it 100 x's more beautiful! Now that is true artistry!

Keep the pics coming please! I will never be able to create something so spectacular, so watching the process though your eyes gives me such pleasure. Thank you!

Ray, it's looking really good, I like how the border is making it pop. What's next, can't wait to see.

Your work is gorgeous!!

Ray..

You are my mentor for everything cool that is for sure, I am anything but cool, looking to maybe get a tatoo soon,

Tranquil! I love anything asain! VERY NICE, BEE PROUD! :thumbup:

Beautiful!

What a pair! <wave> Just found this in some old emails, and by golly! Figured it was time to see the unveiling? <wave>

Can hardly wait to see the big finish! Awhhh! Such talent!

Wow! What a quilt! Thanks for sharing your progress! :)

That's amazing, I've never seen anything like that. How do you cover raw edges when you move from piece to piece?

I get that skill from my old profession.
I had to blend in new artwork,
WITH! the "work" they already had on them.
Tattooing that is...*
So, this is great, I can let go of the fabric and when I come back it is still there, a person might not wait that long anymore.
I may be slow...
BUT I have the X-RAYs to prove my case. HA HA!


Here is the fabric,
I looked and looked for
(found it)
Can y'all see all of the possibilities I have got to go in.
Dare to give your thinking on these two fabrics.
Post your idea, before I finish the piece.
Then we can see who was the closest in thinking the same as ME.


Ray..

I can't wait to see it finished!

This is just amazing to watch your progress!
I paint in various mediums, and while I may see an area that a change or two might help, watching you do this just gives me a whole different perspective!
I deeply admire your talent. While I can paint what I see........you are bringing an entire scene to life.
Your work is fascinating and impressive!! Thanks SO much for sharing it! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

As for the shadow gray and the black, what comes to my mind is dimensional rocks???

Well, I see an inky black sky with a silvery moon and a touch of starlight here and there..

A few finished pics of Su's piece. It was called Cosmic Stars in the magazine where I got the basic design; she calls it Cosmic Rays.

Hi Handsome!! You are such a tease! But so talented I guess we can put up with it. Su's quilt is gorgeous!!

Hey, Ray, I have been following your progress- hope you are OK, and can't wait to see your finished quilt! Thanks for letting us watch you put this together and see a little into your creative mind...

Very nice start. I just love those fabrics. Keep us posted. I would just love to see what everyone can do.

This is stunning work.

a. I really like your fabric choices.

Lovely!

Was wondering how you were getting along....Glad you are back...Can't keep a good quilter down eh!

Thanks for all of the kind words.
I am planning to get to work on this quilt and get it finished. hopefully sooner than latter... but you all know, that life has a way of getting in the way. So we will see how it goes. Have had hardware problems... took it out back and downloaded some hot (9mm) lead into it. That felt great.


till then.
Ray..

What she said. :-D

That really is quite a beautiful piece of art.

When do we get to see the finished project??

Gonna be a stunning one!
