alternate endings

Everything green growing like crazy and I just can't let this long winter cloth go.

 I got a little sidetracked while looking through a favorite book (Quilting, Patchwork and Applique: A World Guide) with plans to make a window panel. I have been daydreaming a lot about the shaped pieces and forms on toran and pantoran textiles made for doorways and it led to me thinking that these shapes all pieced together for hanging are really a lot like fringe. Shaped fringe.






I wasn't very happy with the original fringe on this so now it's gone and I am headed out in another direction. Now I am imagining this leading to all kinds of shaped "fringe" on lots of things. Not just squares.

    I love what I see as the progression of your three blocks from subterranean to above ground to sky.

      Thanks, Dana. I like to think about the ways these places become tangled and woven together. Especially now that everything is growing so quickly all around me. Above and below ground.
