Lino Cut Art Quilt for FiberArt For A Cause

Using the leaf/bud prints from my lino-cutting class with Dijanne Cevaal (link in Reading on left sidebar), I decided to make two quick art quilts (instead of just a small postcard) as part of my donation to the FiberArt For A Cause (FFAC) fundraiser to benefit the American Cancer Society.

I offered Virginia the choice of pieces (they are each about 11 inches wide by 17 1/4 inches long), and she chose the blue-green one on the left for the auction.  The multicolored one, on the right, will be for sale here on my website after the auction.

The blue-green print is the “positive” image which I shared in this post.  I fused the print to some batik, then quilted the daylights out of it.  Here is the quilt:

The multicolored quilt is similar, but features the “negative” panel where the main motifs (not the background) are cut away.  I was surprised at how much I liked this one, since usually I am enchanted by the lines of the cuts in woodcuts and lino-cuts.

I don’t know about you, but I’m having a BLAST in this class, and hope that my results will lead to a generous donation to the American Cancer Society.  Thanks in advance to all for browsing the FFAC site/auction, and to those who have helped not just this year but in past years, too, to help combat cancer.

    Both are very cool. Great choice of backgrounds. I love the leaf/bud shadows in the background of the blue green piece. I just might have to sign up for that lino cut class, you make it look like such fun!

    It looks like you are having a grand time and helping a good cause at the same time!
