Another place



I haven't struggled with any of the previous challenges as much as with this one!
Another place... use paper... use plastic... use a new technique... pfff!
I thought and thought and was about to give up when, 2 days before we left on a 2 week holiday on Dec 24, I had an idea. I had about 1 hour to create my quilt, so it became a very small, postcard-sized piece.

Another place... is Tasmania - I have never been there yet, but would love to go. It's part of Australia, but it's literally a-part from Australia, and my idea is that it is quite different... I hope to be able to see it for myself soon!

The paper - is from an old atlas;
The new technique - is using paper in a quilt ;-) (yes, I'm cheating, I know)
The plastic - is absent, as I could not think of what to use...

I do like my little Tassie piece!

You did well Linda, I like what you came up with.Sometimes having to do something quickly is a good thing, makes you try things you never thought you would.

I'm laughing at your "cheating". I believe we were given choices (paper/plastic/new technique) didn't have to be all. So you did fine. And the end result is good looking!

I hope you get to explore this other place some day soon. Tasmania has always sounded like an exotic place to journey.

Nice that a quilt about dreams to travel to another place is postcard sized. I do hope that you get to travel to Tassie, as it is a very special place indeed.

I love your piece. Tassie is a great place, and we 'mainlanders' have always considered it ... another place.
