As a tutor, I need to update my class samples and I just don't have enough hours in the day... however, preparing notes for the collage class I decided to add another dimension to collage and I played around with this quilt.
I created the image of the zebra on paper and made a pattern.
I wanted it to be really bright and in fact I used a bunch of Thai silk fabrics graduating the colors for the stripes... but it just didn't have enough punch, so I used a graduated fabric and I think it looks great.
I had the background fabric in my stash and it was a fluke that the colors matched... so I didn't really have to add a lot of collage pieces to create a picture.
This is the way it has to stay until I get back... but it's interesting...
I can do some super quilting on the background.....!!!
