This is the morning's progress.
I am finding that I am pulled between a desire to add interesting detail, and the logic to take advantage of the batik to add variation. I also realized that of the 3 prints that I have of the painting, some lack detail and others were cropped. I didn't realize until late this morning that the blob in my pattern on the left corner was a pirate. Getting the red staining to match up b/w the different fabrics has also been a challenge. This is actually the 3rd version of the right side of this section.
I was going to leave out the square with the writing....but I have decided to embroider secret meaning into all the places where there is text in the cartoon. This square will have a secret message to my daughters. (The bottom speech bubble will have the quilt name, date & signature. The right bubble has a secret message for the artist.)
I need to move away from the detail and on to the big section in the interest of space and time. My living room looks like a fabric store barfed all over it.
