This quilt, a tribute to the removal of dams on the Elwha River, has been juried into the 2013 LaConner Quilt Fest. I am pleased about that, though I am not satisfied with this quilt itself. It doesn't have enough contrast for my tastes, and though I wanted it to be clear that I was representing the Elwha River, I don't like the dark strip across the bottom with the micro stippled writing. I wish I had carried some of the strands of water into the lettered strip. Oh well, too late now.
What doesn't show in this photo are the clear, white, and pearl beads scattered across the watery splashes. The beads are subtle, but does give the quilt surface a bit of watery sparkle.
