This is the last of the five Structures quilts in my Grand Canyon grouping. More of my brick shapes from this period in the Grand Canyon colors I dyed. This time outlined in black for the lowest layer of the canyon, the vishnu complex made of schist, gneiss, and granite.
The last morning in the canyon I woke up very early and hiked out to an overlook on the tonto platform to watch the sunset. The weather didn’t cooperate so I didn’t get to watch the colors return to the canyon in a glorious blaze. In fact as I recall it was amazingly window and a bit unpleasant, but in my mind this quilt reminds me of that morning. I’m not really sure why.

Your quilts are a very unique abstract. I enjoy seeing the different looks and the creatives ways you combined the colors to bring out emotions. Thanks

Love your work, and stop by often. Wish I could live two lives because as much as I love fabric, textures, and sewing, I love painting more. Just never figured out a realistic way to combine the two.
Great structure on this piece.
