Triptych - finished

Now that my swap partner has received them, I can share my finished triptych inspired by Piet Mondrian. I think they were about 7 inches square.In order for the design to run off the edge like Mondrian's paintings, I had to finish them without a binding. I sewed the back to the front right sides together and then turned it right side out. They are quilted without batting.I am pleased with how they turned out.It is fitting that I share these artist inspired quilts today as in P's preschool class they are starting a unit on famous artists. Today they painted like Jackson Pollack - great fun for preschoolers. Also, they had fluffy paint on palettes to paint on paper that was taped to the underside of the art table a la Michelangelo. When I left P had fluffy blobs of paint in her hair. Ah, being an artist is messy work.  They will be hosting their own art show in March.

This summer we watched my two oldest grand kids one day a week. Towards the end of the summer they started making projects on their own in the sewing room. They made lots of little projects from my scrap basket including pillow cases and tiny quilts
Here’s the layout with all but one block done. I’ll finish that last block when I get more of the baby poop green/mustard fabric. I put out the call and the internet provided! This top will be finished soon! This is a remake of an 1870s
I’m finally getting around to putting these stars together. I made the stars a few years ago and have been on the hunt for the perfect setting fabrics. These @carolynfriedlander prints are the perfect match for the 1800s reproduction prints in
