Hm. Was thinking the caladiums would be for the border but I think the bears are better. #process. And btw if you have any questions, please ask.

#thinkingOutLoud trying to figure out where I’m going. None of these are quite working for me. #quilting

Hmm I like this but also I like all the arcs together. Decisions decisions.

Decided I need more arced blocks. Will figure out the fillers tomorrow I think. #quilting #process

Layout complete. Most of the rows are sewn together. Can eat lunch and then come back and work on borders

Thinking about adding sashing like so.
Show threadGranny Art (Shrimp) (Joni)Jun 1, 2023
Update. Adding the diagonal stripes to the sashing. Trying to figure out how to arrange the colors of aboriginal fabric. #process #quilting

Rows are sewn together. It’s simmer time

Ok. Moved the sashing to be borders. Liking this much better. Can figure out details later. #sewing #quilting #process

#Quilt top is done! Now it will go on a shelf for a bit as there is something else to work on and this one can wait.

Back to #AutumnCurves. I’m just making it up as I go along. Does it spark joy in me? 100%. Do I know where it will end up? No clue #wip #sewing #quilting

Same as above but now there is a row of alternating ivory bill woodpeckers, bears in birches, red strips, and a multi colored chevron strip in the middle. #wip #sewing #quilting

Adding beavers to the side borders! #havingFun #sewing #quilting #wip
Show threadGranny Art (Shrimp) (Joni)Jun 20, 2023

Nearing the finish! Just gotta attach the beavers/raccoons and then put the stripey border on. I think I'm going to make cornerstones with arcs in the corners. Have to finish digesting lunch first.

Ok, pretend the striped bits extend all the way and the arced pieced blocks are actually in each corner ..

(Image is same as previous toot but now has multicolored stripes that switch back and forth on the edges and four arced pieced blocks in the corners).

Now that’s a Samhain quilt! That is amazing work, a brilliant piece of fabric art!

@artcollisions how? How do you do it? You mixed skulls, chipmunks, raccoons, stripes AND curves and made it look like they are all meant to be a single fabric line! Love it so much

@artcollisions love how the colour and texture of the darker fabric (middle square etc) contrast and frame everything (almost a vignette feeling, feels gentle on the eyes)

@artcollisions I was waiting for the zig! I knew you weren’t just going to have a 5x5 block of blocks 🤩 love the addition of the chevron fabric + accents

@artcollisions sometimes I have to let a project stare at me before I can figure out what I'm doing next.

@artcollisions Oh, I like this! It makes me think of medieval illuminated manuscripts, with the chipmunks being the normal writing on vellum and the leaves/arches looking like the illuminated initial letters.
