"Blue Wave" - paper pieced, machine free motion quilted. 12"x12". Completed on Jan 26 2020, for Project Quilting season 11 - Team Colors challenge
My team is DEMOCRATS.
I drafted my own wave pattern because I didn't want to use the traditional wave created with a snails trail like this:
They do look like waves, but I wanted a gentler angle (not 45 degree) so I drafted something like this: This is just my first sketch. I don't have the final version because I used it as my foundation for paper piecing:
After piecing, I machine quilted all over with the word 'vote'
I'm team Democrat in the upcoming elections - I hope there is a blue wave, but I also would be fine with squeaking by with a small majority. Just win. Watching the GOP obstruct a fair trial in the impeachment hearings, I want them all out.
VOTE!
