Jan Update


I'm continuing to work on hexagons with hand work for all the hexagons at this point creating sets of 4 and trying them in different positions on black background. As of today they are on the design wall in slanting rows but I am going to try different combinations and possibly using black space between one or all of them. I am also continuing on with the old quilt that I am taking apart and putting back together in a more stable manner. I've actually taken the blocks apart and am taking 14 with me on holiday and will see how many I get done. I've decided to use a calico surround for the blocks to set them off more and am still looking for pictures from family members of outfits that were made out of the fabric back in the 60's and 70's.

I really like this Jan it actually reminds me of how i want my building block pieces to look in terms of the sculpture shape but in 2d. Its great to see your works coming along. I'm looking forward to seeing your family photo quilt as i love the concept of that piece.
