Carma’s Results from Design-Nature Class

In a recent Design Your Own Nature Quilt class, Carma Spencer created a wonderful quilt.  Here’s a photo of the finished piece, Think Big.

Carma started with her own photo, decided on the best composition, created a simple sketch, and began to cut and place  fabric. Working loosely, she interpreted mulch with not only brown fabrics, but also purple, black and red ones.  Multiple flower and leaf fabrics continued the feel.

In order to maintain the proportions of her sketch Carma constantly reminded herself to enlarge the flowers.  This concept was so important to her that she named her quilt accordingly.  Great job, Carma!
