Totally Different Tack

Rather than make either of the quilts I have written about, I have tacked into the wind and I am making a small quilt that is completely different from any quilt I have ever made. More than fifteen years ago I saw a magazine cover that intrigued me. It is an acrylic painting on handmade paper called Eclipse, by Carla Crow, and it will challenge my sewing skills though not my quilting skills. My son saw my cartoon of the quilt design and was enthusiastic so perhaps this one will go to him. It will be small enough to hang on the wall so my daughter-in-law won't have to worry about the dogs pawing at it.
