Sketchbook to Quilt: Round 'N Round

This really bores me silly, to repeat, to have a design that's already worked out. I have to trick myself into working on this. "Ok, today I'll just do this one little thing for it"...so I got the central figure cut out.

Actually, this would work up very fast if I could bend my mind around it. It's only about 2 ft. square.

I think I'll cut down the figure a bit so that I have more room to fiddle around with the background.

Round and Round We Go

Dear Blogging Friends,
      Thank you so much for your feed-back as you helped me to decide to keep the comments open. Please read my letter over at MulticoloredPieces. 

And as I find myself grappling with big issues, I am finding beauty at the same time. My next sketchbook page must address murder, the shedding of blood. Well, that requires red, a color that I like (but a pity about the subject). I started with a sheet of paper from my sketchbook and glued on a red print.














I cut into another fabric and glued it on top of the white spaces and red print. Then I stitched all that down and trimmed off the edges. I like this odd combination of fabrics and shapes.






I cut out a simple figure in white satin into which I cut holes and then glued it down. 

I am feeling sad today. This happens rarely (fortunately), so I should finish this page while I'm in the mood. Part of the text on this will read: "They knew, and did nothing." Indeed, a sad state of affairs.
