Happy Dance was a joy to create from beginning to end. I sketched out the beginning of the design in Procreate one day when I was just playing around. It excited me so I decided to play with the design further but with fabric.
The quilting was a combination of both walking foot and hand quilting, both done in a very organic way - just playing around with thread.
This quilt is 49" wide x 32" tall.
Happy Dance was one of my 4 entries to the QuiltCon 2026 show. I am extremely happy and honored that 2 of my quilts will be in the show. However, this particular this quilt is a QuiltCon reject. (My second reject is 1 1 2 3 5 8.)
I would have loved to see this quilt hanging in Raleigh and will likely submit it again in the future for consideration by another jury.
Until then, more soon on the two quilts that were accepted.
Have a wonderful day!
Patty
This has such a playful feeling to it; Happy Dance is the perfect name! Good luck with a future QuiltCon submission. Every jury is different.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool, and looks like a fun one to work on. Colorful improv strips dancing on a black background make a happy combination. And I know that organic quilting is enjoyable to quilt. Very forgiving. You definitely created a happy piece. It's too bad jurors didn't select it, but as we all say, "There's always next year."
