Madeline Island Part 2

Throughout the week, Gwen made sure that everyone had time to consult, learn, share, and laugh.  She sprinkled the days with stories and anecdotes.  She seemed to be able to magically move pieces around on our design walls to lead us in new directions.

I started out with some small pieces and finished this.

We took a boat trip Thursday evening to see the rock formations at Devil's Island, along with the photography class that was also at camp with us. 

By the end of the week, we had all made amazing progress. We all learned new tools to use in our quilts.

I had an idea about working on a piece with a limited color palette, but not real plan on what design I would use.    I started out making pieces and parts.  I had fully expected to be frustrated and stuck by day 2, and I didn't get there until late Thursday, when I was tired and running out of time.  And then, with a little encouragement from my table mates and from Gwen, I found a new way to look at my piece.  This time, I intend to finish it.  Soon.  P.S.  The color saturation on these pieces is way off...
