In the Process!!!!!!

Been working on a quilt for the past couple of weeks. An aquaintance asked me to create it. Although I knew that I was very busy, I decided to squeeze it into my schedule. I didn't realize how maticulous I am until I was in the middle of cutting out the words on the bandanas that were required to incorporate in the quilt. I decided to go with a quilt that will become a part of my "Dancin' at the Tree of Life" series. The theme of the quilt is for breast cancer awareness. I wanted an upbeat quilt look and of course Boa Boa trees are always my comfort zone. The thought of women dancing and celebrating at the African Boa Boa tree(where ancestors have also been known to dwell) would fit perfectly. Oh almost forgot to mention, we had to incorporate the use of these rulers designed by a woman named Darlene Zimmerman. So I am using the rulers to create the background (sky, land etc.). I am more of a free spirit when it comes to cutting fabric for quilts. I usually decide on a size of the fabric patch based on the fabric that I want to use, then build everything around it. I am still trying to stay true to my game LOL by alternating various lengths of cloth even though the tools must be used; keeping the quilt to about 24" X 24" square. Let's see what the final verdict will be. Whew........ I love the quilt process!!!!
