A TIME TO STITCH - A TIME TO TEAR OUT


I made a '3 layer sandwich' - as quiltmakers like to say: top, batting & backing. 


Machine stitched around the clouds to emphasize them.  I thought the stitching gunked it up. Tore it out!  


What about the bottom fabric? Will I machine quilt around the pouring rain? I'll make some samples before I stitch the real thing. 


I do want to use the metallic effect thread though - but how will that look?  OK, another sample. 


Actually I am wondering if this should be a quilt at all!  Maybe the fabrics should just be collaged on the BFK paper!  


The process continues on this next piece in the Currents series...
