Working Title: A River Runs Through

I've been working on my quilt for the Ashe County Arts Council exhibit Anything Goes! and made good progress today. The quilt will be three dimensional and will actually be made of two tops pieced together before they are quilted. The general drawing for the piece has been made:

and I started pulling fabrics for the first on the two tops. I plan on using summer colors for one and fall colors for the other.

The quilt is going to be an impressionistic view of the New River that runs through Ashe County.  The New River is thought to be the second oldest river in the world and runs just down the road from our farm.
