So much fun!
Karen Eckmeier taught her accidental landscapes class at my guild recently, and I made this.
It's not quite finished -- I want to tack down the wave so it looks like it's breaking on the rock, and I think I want a little more embellishment before I quilt it. Can you see the one sailboat off in the distance? I think I may put another set of boulders into the border, too, not quite sure yet.
Karen's technique is really fun and improvisational. You
can control what your landscape will end up looking like, but you can also just play around until something serendipitous happens -- or do any combination in between. Karen also has a clever way to make a wavy inner border, which you can see on my friend Mary's blog,
Comfy Quilts and A Good Book.
