The Eastern Oregon quilt series is intended to comprise of seven quilts using Kona cotton in colors inspired by Eastern Oregon in the fall. So far, I have completed three quilts using traditional designs. The fourth quilt will be a unique design - my first attempt to create an abstract representation in a quilt.
The inspiration is a desert landscape of sagebrush. I plan to add perspective in the design to show an expanse of sagebrush - as far as the eye can see...perhaps from a car window.
The sagebrush itself will be a pentagon (sage green!) surrounded by scraps of light and medium fabric. The bottom of each block will include a darker color for a 'shadow'.
I plan to have ten or eleven rows - with the final color block region spanning a 30" x 30" square. The block dimensions for each row will become smaller. The larger block will be 5", the smallest will be 1.5". Surrounding the color block will be a white frame; a border of at least 6", possibly with a wider strip along the bottom.
The back of this quilt will be green. I dyed a white sheet a pale green color. The border/binding will be gray. I am hoping for a Polaroid picture effect.
