(The Long Serpent) Foto series which shows how the quilt top was "built" | |||
 |
Selecting the fabrics. There had to be two different yellow/orange gradations with 12 fabrics in each, one bright for the front swirl, and one a little shadier for the back swirl. Not very easy to find so many yellows in the "pink and blue period". Purple/violet/magentas for the background. | ||
 |
Cut strips, sew together and cut again. | ||
 |
Build the front swirl on the design wall. |  |
Build the back swirl. |
 |
Build the background. |  |
Background finished. Everything is just pinned to the wall. |
 |
Some patches were ripped out and replaced with a variety of lime green patches to form the long green serpent. Then the top was sewn together. |  |
