The quilt top for Summer Breeze is sewn together.
39" x 39"
Inspired by Sujata Shah's Sunset design
in her Cultural Fusion Quilts book.
Now I need to consider how it will be quilted.

I'll be posting less often for the rest of July
while I invest some time in myself
with a “build your own artist residency."
(phrase borrowed from Lynn Harris)
My weekly recap posts for Optic Strings
will continue and I'll pop in here and there
with any finishes that are ready to be shared;
but otherwise I plan to keep a low online profile
and focus instead on stitching and quilting.

Summer Breeze is a great name for this beauty. Enjoy your time away. We all need a little change in routine sometimes.

It is a lovely summer respite, as the name implies. Well done, my friend!
Congrats! on your newly completed quilt top. Enjoy your blogging break! I will miss you.
I really notice those bright greens on this lovely top. you will have fun deciding how to quilt it. Enjoy your break.
I love the look of all those blue and green triangles playing off each other! It reminds me of our recent trip to Wisconsin!
I love the x pattern that shows up in the values. I know you will be able to focus and create some amazing works.
Really like this! It reminds me of being in a deep forest and every now and then looking up and seeing bits of sky above the high leafy branches of the tall trees.
I don't know build your own artist residency.... take the time you need to recharge you've been finishing so much this year. Hope the time brings you a satisfying sense of creativity, and refreshment. LeeAnna
