lol DA has a "quilting" category? Well good for me then! One category that was easy to find for once..

Anyway, this was an attempt at an ambitious piece for my portfolio for Grad School. I decided to make some quilts. This is one I did depicting a scene from Aesop's fable "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
click the download button for a larger view.

Actual quilted fabric, cut and hand hand-sewn by me. The background piece was a pillow case I bought from Ross (Or T.J. Max). It measures 30" by 24" and is accented with fabric pens, sharpies and acrylic paint. Oh and cute wittle buttons for eyes! 83

I will never sew again. Not for long time anyway. I have so many needle pricks on my fingers ;_; Plus it took FOREVER.
Anyways, I hope it looks alright and is "unique" enough to get me at least a nod from the school. Bleh..

"The Fox and the Crow" can be found here:

Deceit and Loss by =ArmadaRyu. I love the mix of the black floral fabrics that give shape to the snarling wolf's anatomy, the white floral fabrics that play up the sheeps' wooly fluffiness, and the use of fabric pens and paint that depict the futile plea for help by the "The Boy Who Cried Wolf." Do be sure to click on fullview to take in all the details. ( Featured by `Kitten-of-Woe )

I really dig the color palette and the "crying" trails...

The wolf's silhouette and he black & red fabrics work beautifully against the landscape colors.
I'd say it was worth all the time you put into it... but then I'm not the one who had the pricked fingers.

I only found this after looking to see if DA even had a quilting section, so the opening to your description really made me smile!

Anyway, I love this and think it is the perfect example of contemporary quilting.

Yeah, I was pretty surprised that they had a category for it! There's not many quilts on here that I've seen. XD
