Canoe Paddles
I designed this quilt after seeing some very lovely painted canoe paddles. I agonized over the fabric choice going back and forth between using solids (like the original paddles) or prints. In the end with the help of my sister in law I chose Alison Glass's handcrafted, which I fell in love with at first sight. At times I doubted my design thinking it looked more like chaos than an actual pattern but kept plugging away at it anyway. I'm very happy with the finished project and the lesson of perseverance.
