Just a flange and binding...

Well, Day 1 of the new job is done.  Thankfully I finished the wave quilt yesterday so I met my deadline.  Deadline's are a good thing, very motivating.  Although I appreciate a poster on my nieces wall that says "I love deadlines.  I love that wooshing sound as they go flying by!"  Never the less.  Here is the finished product that will reside in my favorite neighbors apartment in Russia.  A little bit of Florida sunshine in that quilt to brighten up their wall.  I can't seem to figure out yet how to arrange these photos and put text around them but I think you can get the idea of what each photo is.  It isn't very complex.  The wave is a bargello technique while the area around it is using triangles.  It was fun but I am glad to be done.  I decided to not put a border on it, everything I tried just didn't seem right so I over dyed a black and white dot batik with green and blue for the binding and added a black flange just to have it outlined.  The scripture reference is when Jesus calms the storm.  My waves are calm, friendly waves, just like after Jesus put the wind and waves in their proper place.
