These quiltlets were made in answer to an ongoing on-line challenge
which takes place on Yahoo groups at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/abstract-challenge.
As you can see, I participated in the challenge from late 2000 through September 2002.
A new topic is added each month and the challenge is to express a
concept in an 8" by 8" square quilt using abstract, or at least non-literal
representations. Click on the images to see a larger, detailed version and follow
the links on the individual pages to see all of them.

As I look at all of these quilts so far, I realize that in many of
them, I have used Upside-Down Appliqué to translate my
little drawings quickly and accurately into fabric. I teach Upside Down Applique as
well as several other classes at Quilt University. You can visit the QU website at www.quiltuniversity.com, or take
a look at my QU class
Schedule for more information.
