Here is the story:
My son's friend loves the band "Rebelution" and her favorite
album is "Peace Of Mind". She asked if I could make the cover of this album into a quilt for her.
album is "Peace Of Mind". She asked if I could make the cover of this album into a quilt for her.
Below is the album cover and one of their songs.
They are a mix of rock, world & reggae.

My thought was
SURE-It looks simple enough!
Yeah-Right!
Here are the stages of progress.

My son inherited the artsy gene,
so he helped me paint the back ground fabric.
The levels for the background were painted,
diluted, blended and highlighted.
Then it was onto applying the applique.
I kept the pieces down with allot of quilting.
This is intended for a bed.
The water falls has Angelina fibers and crystal powder in it.
On the album there looks to be underground rivers.
And then the Quilting!
Had to put Cati's name in there somewhere!
Blending the clouds and the sky.
The sky and the ocean.
The seas and the deep sea.
The letters after the quilting was done.
Love these labels!

That's an amazing creation! So alike the album cover. I wonder how many hours were put into this quilt...
ReplyDeleteYour quilting is simply gorgeous. I love the quilted star. It was very clever to change the patterns with the background colors. The title letters are amazing. The spiralling feathers flow beautifully across the fabric.
This is indeed a piece of art.
