In the '80s I spent a lot of time creating quilts with an art perspective. When I returned to work, I stopped making them and turned my attention to knitting. More portable and practical. Now I have time and space and a dye studio. I am planning a return to art quilt-making.
As my dyed fabric will be in limited supply, I have been building the skills to anticipate how much I need and how it might look in a design before I make my first cut. The above image is a digital quilt using my hand dyed fabric as swatches in the program so it is a pretty good facsimile of how the quilt might look.
