"Peaceful Abyss"
 

Even though this Triptych quilt is still pinned to my design board, it is essentially done. All that is left for me to do is add hot fix crystals to the water. I started this 3 panel quilt last summer, so it has been a long time in the making. Just piecing the diamond background was rather time consuming. But worth it in the end, because I like the impressionist feel that the background lends to it. This is my own design ... no pattern. Though I do need to give some credit to my friend Kathy, who is also a member of this board. She suggested some of the cool embellishments, not the least of which is the hook being swallowed by one of the Big Mouth Bass and the pearls inside the oyster shells. Pure fun, I love "playing" with this type of art quilt. It measures 28" X 70". I am entering this piece into a local quilt show this Summer.

Wow, that quilt is so alive. So much movement and color. It takes a while to see it all. I think you had fun!

wow, terrific quilt!

What a fantastic work of art - very creative. I love the diamond backgrounds. It was totally worth it.

Oh that is better than having a fish tank! so many beautiful things to see. wonderful work!

Amazing and seems so life like! Makes me want to have a fish tank again so soothing. Fabulous job!

Delightful! So much to enchant the viewer.

What a wonderful art quilt you've created! I really like the combination of materials, techniques and your delightful color selections. You've done a fantastic job and I wish you luck in your quilt show competition this summer. Thanks for sharing your inspirational piece :)
