This is a very good interpretation. If yo...Rachel, <br />This is a very good interpretation. If you had not explained about the French version of the story, I would have wondered how the lizards fit in. I like the stippling in the borders; I can imagine the mice and lizards moving helter skelter in that border. The use of all the different fabrics (textures) was a great idea. And the backing is so applicable.

I think your treatment of the mice and lizards in the borders helps give a regal feel to your mini quilt. Thanks for sharing more information about each of the fabrics that were chosen for your project. The texture of the tweed for the lizards helps to bring out the texture of real lizard skin. Looking forward to seeing your next project.

Your use of upholstery fabrics is inspired and I like the wavy quilting round the edge - it's a good contrast to the other textures. I understand what you're saying about the pumpkin but from a composition p.o.v it looks just right in the middle to me:-) Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693903606189589310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564846556280971762.post-37722533423259453012015-05-01T10:43:01.834-05:002015-05-01T10:43:01.834-05:00I'm with Betty on this one, although I did enj...I'm with Betty on this one, although I did enjoy reading your self-critique (a good artist is always evaluating, right?). I love the representation of the lizards and mice around the borders, and while I see your point about the slipper, I love that pumpkin (using the upholstery fabrics was a brilliant move on your part!).<br /><br />I am in a traveling threads bee and one of the members is doing a fairy tale theme. You can bet I'll be taking inspiration from you and your fine piece. I really like all the parts of this little art quilt--another success!OPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564846556280971762.post-29227037850812522532015-05-01T10:06:45.609-05:002015-05-01T10:06:45.609-05:00Adorable!Adorable!Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200088593233052818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8564846556280971762.post-53864080710687366702015-05-01T05:37:22.654-05:002015-05-01T05:37:22.654-05:00Oh, Rachel, I love everything about this one! And...Oh, Rachel, I love everything about this one! And yes, it is understandable at first glance. Love all the applique and varying fabrics - a great touch (esp. on an art quilt). And I think the pumpkin gives it a nice balance, maybe if just for the color. You nailed it!Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295378033676146483noreply@blogger.com
