First blog entry

On Monday, I submitted my quilt for the Modern Quilt Guild Challenge 1.  Here are pictures of the quilt and my explanation of the inspiration.

Canada Fields

This quilt is called Canada Fields.  My inspiration came from a satellite photo.  This summer our daughter was on a canoe trip in Saskatchewan, Canada for one month.  The only communication would be for emergencies. To feel closer to her, we would check the weather online.  As I zoomed into the satellite pictures up north, I would see these patterns of the farmer's fields.  I was fascinated by the randomness of what was in the fields within a predictable structure of the roads and symmetrical property lines.  It inspired me to make this quilt of randomness within a structure.
