When this challenge was announced, I had a lot of ideas about “Time”. In my choice of design I was influenced by a piece of vintage Japanese silk. On my sketch paper which I always cut to size I drew out a curling wave and then cut this out and moved the template around on the fabric to capture the idea of a wave. The quilt is entirely hand sewn expect for the binding. I hand turned applique the background sections and the “wave” and then hand quilted the piece using black silk thread, I did not do tiny hand quilting but about 1/4 inch so the fabric would ripple.
