two gallon bag

For the 2012 challenge Artrageous decided on a two gallon bag bag challenge:
take a two gallon ziploc, fill it with whatever you want. It goes home with some else, and you get someone's bag to use to make a quilt. This quilt goes back to the person who filled the bag.


This was the bag I recieved:


in progress:


and is "OASIS" finished:




I reallY like this quilt! and am sad to see it deprat. It goes to Mary Miller, who unfortuantely was not present yesterday.
Ironically I got Mary's bag and she got mine:


This is the quilt she made me!

Rachel, at STITCHED IN COLOR http://www.stitchedincolor.com/2013/02/the-post-modern-quilter.html?showComment=1362085851260#c6043964878187375446 had a thoughful entry about making.
In summary she states:
"we bring our diverse dreams and our distinct voices to our art, and we hope to enjoy a nuanced conversation with other makers - all other makers. Because, that conversation will transform us, change us. And growth is always welcome."
