Nineth of Sixteen

We have been taking a look at my most recently completed art pieces. Last Thursday we saw number eight.  Today’s post features number nine.

Uninspiring?

If it were not for the added borders, this mini quilt would be nothing more than a tiny remnant. Who knows what it must have looked like in its original form. We will never know.

Saving Feature

This quilt has a very simple design. To spice up the appearance I added quilting with a variegated thread. The varying shades of intermittent color provide excitement by jumping out in unexpected ways.

The lines of quilting help to draw your eye into the tiny center.

I have to admit that, if it were not for the added quilting, this miniature art piece would probably go unnoticed. Thankfully the quilting has added the drama that it deserves.
