African colorwash.....portrait...

I'm down to the final 2 quilts.  This one, African Colorwash is 20" x 23.75".  I will also be sending a couple of the small Crooked Cobblestone pieces so there will be a variety of size and price.
I sewed a dark purple binding on the larger colorwash piece which I finished quilting yesterday morning.  I have about 1/4 of the hand sewing done.  I need to ship the quilts today.  I usually do a dry run on the packing so I know how many I can get into a box but this time I'm just down to the wire on all of it.  I'll find out how many fit when I get this binding and the final 2 labels sewn on.

  5. The African color wash is more intense than your usual color wash work. I think it adds a new dimension to your art.

  7. How many pieces will you have in the show? Of course I love the Aferican Colorwash. You have so many different colors than what I have in my stash and I enjoy seeing what I don't have! Best of luck with the show and I hope you can post some pictures once the show is hung.

  18. You have put the rhythm of the country into your African Colorwash.

    Much fun for me, as I am scrolling back to see the posts of this past week.

  19. How much of your grey/white dotted fabric did you buy? It is such a grand piece to combine with your fabrics. I will be looking for a piece like that in the future.
