The CQFA retreat was this past weekend and I worked on the quilt top all weekend. This is the final layout, or nearly the final layout, of Fabric of the Year 2012. I think of this as a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, in some ways. Perhaps I will call this piece Chrysallis?<\/p>\n<p>In this picture, all the pieces are sewn into groups of 2. By the time I left the retreat center, I had started to sew larger chunks together and the upper right hand corner was nearly all sewn.<\/p>\n<p>As usual, I went through my process of hand wringing and chest beating on Friday followed by sewing and intense rearranging on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things I really like about working on this at the retreat (remember <a href=\"http:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2012\/02\/cqfa-retreat-my-work\/\" target=\"_blank\">last year&#8217;s retreat<\/a>?) is that everyone helps. They don&#8217;t help by rearranging, though that goes on a bit, but they come by and give me an opinion, there is always someone around to help with tricky placement and they appreciate my process. By appreciate, I meant they let me engage in my process, which, for this project, involves a fair bit of angst. It was all worth it. I am pleased with the way this is coming out.<\/p>\n<p>I think that I may be over the colorwash technique for these pieces. I like the idea of cutting a piece of fabric from each fabric I use or buy during the year, but I think I have done enough of the colorwash exercise for the time being. I am trying to think of something else for 2013. I have some fragments of ideas, but they haven&#8217;t coalesced yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early last week I posted the final patches I was planning on using for FOTY 2012.
