Fractured Photo Quilt for Mary P.


This one is for Mary P.  
It's the left side portion of a vibrant stormy sea-scape.  I had to mark up the black and white copy because I kept loosing where I was at.  By marking  & coloring it, it helped keep me in the perimeters of the assorted colors -- well ok I'm close.  I think of all five of the individual Fractured Photo sections I've done here, this one seemed to be the most difficult.  Not for intricacy, but in attempting to capture the colors of the photo which are really wild!!  To me, this sliver of the photo has lost the 'depth' of the whole picture.  I've reworked this piece several times, some how trying to find that 'depth' of the picture.  I've changed color placements, color tones, etc. 
I am hoping that the assembly of this will bring back the 'whole'.
Hopefully, I'm close as I'm stopping with this one.

Fractured Photo Quilt for Nona S.

This section that I've just completed for Nona has a lot of applique!!!  
I had to keep in mind the sections that would be joining it and leave the applique pieces loose enough so they could be 'lapped' over to help make the transition easier.
Most of the fabric I've used in this piece is from my hand dyed fabric stash.
It seems to go really well with the colored photo. (not shown)
