Sorry, this is so late. I stupidly didn't think it through and was forced to start again but this did give me time to think and trial ideas. Some things were a blessing in disguise - like 'wasting' all my fabric printing sheets. This meant I had to print on card - which meant I could 'tear' them which is more effective.
This is a two-sided piece. The front shows the incredible destruction of homes and the tearing apart of families. The innocents. The deaths and the upheavals. I am disappointed in that the quilting I did to express bombs exploding on the top photos doesn't show up. Another time I might consider stamping paint. There are sniper bullets across the piece.
The back has splatters of 'blood' left in the sand (actual sand glued to fabric and difficult to see).
The piece measures 20" x 22". It is machine quilted. Commercial fabrics. Satin-stitch covered edges.
On the whole I am pleased with the result and thank you for your patience waiting for me.

My sentiments also. All your hiccups aside worth the wait. Being 2-sided makes it more interesting. Clever.

ReplyDeleteYou have succeeded in making a thought provoking quilt with what is a difficult subject. An original approach to the challenge.
