Brown Bag

I am participating in the brown bag exchange at night guild.  This time, I am to create a row for Barb B.  The focus fabric that she included was an old piano cover that she had found at a garage sale.  The other direction was to make our row look like it goes with the other rows.  I achieved that goal with my first row that I created but I thought that row was pretty plain.  So I created a second row.  It is more out of the box.

In the above picture, the top one is the row that I got wild on.

The second row is the original row created by the owner of the quilt.

The third row was created by another member of the group, Mary Rose S.

The bottom row was the first row I created.  Boring, huh?

The idea for my top, wilder row came from my visit to HMQS in Sandy, UT the beginning of May.  Judy Woodworth quilted music scrolls into her themed quilt, Black Tie Gala.  It looks great quilted so I thought it may also look great as an applique piece.  The colors are very cool and the shape is pretty neat but I don't know if the end viewer is going to know that this is supposed to be a music scroll.

Center scroll:

Left scroll:

It was fun putting this row together and using the protractor to get my angles cut correctly so it would represent a row when I was completed.  It is huge though!  I guess that gives the end owner lots of space to trim if they would like.
