On The Edge?

This quilt is based on the wall on the edge of my garden in the Orkney Islands, which are off the north coast of Scotland in the British Isles which are, in turn, off the coast of Europe.  However, do any of us feel we are on the edge of something/somewhere or do we all live at the centre of our worlds?

My initial sketch was copied onto fabric and then painted with fabric paints before being quilted.  It was horrible to quilt as the paint was so thick.

As a "stone quilter" I love this! I might be coming to the Orkneys in September to see the stones! Everyone says it is pure magic! I am thrilled at the possibility! Lovely work!!
