A serendipity quilt. Danielle contacted me to offer me a stack of books of drapery and upholstery fabric. I learned how to take the books apart, and used a steam iron to remove the paper backing from the samples, then washed everything on hot to get rid of as much glue residue as possible.

['Unsure if pile is big enough.']

Along the way, I noticed the colors fit the theme of a sunrise -- deep blues, tans, golds, reds, purples.

Red sky at morning, sailor's warning.

More photos and explanations as the quilt develops.
