More Klee

In college I took fiber arts classes - a lot of them. One of my favorite aspects of fiber arts was felt making. It was so fun to create fabric out of wool and skip the tedious steps of spinning and knitting or weaving.

I have also always been drawn to quilt designs. In the days when photocopies were expensive, I would trace designs out of books. I had notebooks full of copied and my original designs. I never finished a quilt, but I started plenty of them. The repetition of shapes still appeals to me; this is one of the aspects of Klee's work that speaks to me as well.

I've been looking at quilting magazines (Quilting Arts) and books (such as Nancy Crow's work) for inspiration. I'm not going to fool myself into buying more fabric for another quilt that won't happen. The photos are purely for the joy of looking at all those lovely color combinations and repetitious shapes.
