This is the November Journal quilt, still on the theme "blue".
Last March I spent a week at a farm in Mevagissey, Bodrugan Barton, taking a workshop. This design is taken from a photograph of reflections in a swimming pool there. They reminded me of those swimming pool paintings that David Hockney painted. The technique is machine reverse appliqué. I used some of my hand dyed cotton fabric and used the microwave and a jar to over dye a small quantity of grey sheeting to get the dark blue.
I have a mind to make a large piece like this, but with turned edges to get a smoother line.
