Here I was a beginner Quilter with a new internet connection and a penchant for learning something a bit different. Pat's online course gave me confidence and showed me that I too could produce a wonderful 3D effect. Although I can see imperfections of my beginner sewing technique, I am very fond of this quilt and it hangs proudly on the wall in our home.
Sherbet Ice Cream

I love hand dyed fabrics and thought this unique project would be the perfect venue to display a part of my collection. I hand painted half of the fabrics in this quilt, the balance are either Sky Dyes or a commercial print. The outside border is Sky Dyes. I originally planned to have a rainbow of fabrics cascading for, right to left through the quilt but just couldn't get past the beautiful blues, purples and reds. The bit of green and gold is a reminder of what my original thought was for the quilt.
Looking at the completed quilt makes me feel cold like eating Sherbet ice cream on a hot day, hence the name.
L'Automne
Inge Mardal
Saint Germain en Laye, France
I joined this, my first and only quilting class to see how a quilt would come out if made according to brief written instructions provided via e-mail and without supporting images. En route, I wondered how to give my pyramids a touch of autumn. A view from my studio over the hills of Port Marly and Fourquex gave the pallette.
A warm breakthrough

I made two frigid piecing quilts. Instead of repeating the style of letting the source of light be at the top of the quilt, I wanted in this second one to let the bright and dark sides of the pyramids support the rendering of something that breaks through a rough surface. Something warm, hence the cold colours towards the edge of the quilt

I wanted to take Frigid Piecing one step further by using Triangles within Triangles which then got combined to form a hexagon. I also wanted to use up as much of my floral fabric as possible.

This quilt uses the Frigid Technique for a non Triangle application. The unique templates are done with freezer paper for a perfect fit.

This quilt is a visual reminder that like the apparent lifeless tree my life is being renewed on the inside. I remember that I need seasons for reflection as well as action for inward as well as outward growth.
