While this one is my favorite the whole GC series is great. Thanks. Hey, I knew if I read this site long enough I’d see this quilt. While this one is my favorite the whole GC series is great.

Oddly enough No 17 reminded me of Africa rather than anything else. But then I don't live in the US and I did spent time in Africa as a child. I like these pieces.

The last week was spent in the southwestern part. There were so many times that I thought of your work when I viewed the sides of canyons and huge rock walls/cliffs ... the fractured planes, the palette and shift of colors, as well as the vertical lines of the Aspen tree trunks in the groves scattered across the mountains. I "see" the feelings and love you have for all this in your work. I just returned from a 3 week trip to your beautiful state of Colorado. The last week was spent in the southwestern part.

In other words the figures aren't "on top" of background. They are a single constructed unit. I cut out each piece separately and then sew them together like any pieced quilt block. Here's a close up image that might explain. Each line you see between different fabrics is a machine sewn seam. [technical stuff - All of it is straight line pieced - no set in seams or partial seams] <img src="http://blog.lisacall.com/photos/2007/08/structures17DetailSmall.jpg" width="450px" alt="Contemporary Art Quilt Structures #17 ©2003 Lisa Call" /> Sarah - the construction of the quilt doesn’t reflect the visual description I have above.

I had never really thought about that. I don't know if it makes a difference for painters too. ~ Diane Clancy www.dianeclancy.com/blog I really like this Grand Canyon piece also … very interesting too to be listening to your other comments about showing work or not … I had never really thought about that.

The colours and texture are great. Can you tell me how the dark / light figures you added to the foreground of Structures 17 quilt are secured? Have you cut them out and added them to the quilt or are they sewn in as part of the block? I'm not too sure if I'm explaining myself very well - I hope you know what I'm trying to say.
