It was reveal day over at Tangled Textiles yesterday. Go have a look! Everyone is showing off their interpretation of the theme "Remnants". This is my piece and yes, it still needs to be bound or faced. I am waiting to see what my TTs suggest.
My initial idea was to rust fabric. I had never done that before and thought using some rusted fabric would add to the idea of a remnant piece of cloth. Well the rusting did not happen. Instead I decided to go in a different direction, which I suspected would take a little less time. I scorched pieces. The quilt has a pieced background, FMQ (which is hard to see in this photo), and applique.
This piece represents the remnants left after a fire has roared through a home leaving behind the remainder of furniture, appliances, photos and family heirlooms.
