I got the idea from Jacquie Gering in my craftsy class called "Creative Quilting with your Walking Foot." That is what she suggested when I posted a photo of the quilt. I don't think I would have thought about the larger cross hatching in the border compared to the blue blocks.

I think Van Gogh will really like it AND he will think you are nuts, which would be a pretty big compliment considering ;) I am looking forward to see how you translate the painting into fabric!AlidaPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06967934556463918222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009154046558751404.post-6826657422843099682016-02-19T21:40:06.190-05:002016-02-19T21:40:06.190-05:00Now that is a pretty exciting take-off on a famili...Now that is a pretty exciting take-off on a familiar painting. The red sky so perfectly fits the theme you will be imposing - bringing in the energy theme again with the power plant. And to be reading about Van Gogh when he was working on it - well, I can't think of anything much better! Good luck with the painting. Worth a try for sure.<br /><br />As for your abstract quilt, I really did wonder if the cross-hatching would work (perhaps I've already said that) but now that it is done, there's no question. Just really perfect, and the larger grid in the black areas is a good choice too. Binding's the way to go on this one.The Idaho Beautyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979439849662755082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5009154046558751404.post-26253969329943080082016-02-19T15:52:23.136-05:002016-02-19T15:52:23.136-05:00So many fun projects in the works!
