“Tall Grasses” Complete

After several interruptions, I was finally able to finish my quilt, Tall Grasses.

It was inspired by some of the landscape grasses growing in my neighborhood. When the setting sun hits them, the cream colored heads glow an almost pink. As you can see, I ran with that idea, adding my favorite bright colors, and using an abstracted representation of grass.

This is the first quilt I’ve made using almost exclusively my own hand dyed fabrics. Very fun!

I wanted to play up the curves in the background so I drew it in with a fine permanent marker. It’s very subtle and I like it. As a matter of fact, I’m happy with the quilt in every way.

It was made as a companion to this quilt, Palm Fronds.

Don’t you think they’d make a good pair? Maybe I’ll make one more in the series.
