I began this quilt in a rectangular shape and found I didn't like it much. So I cut it into 5 pieces, slid them up or down and fused them to a solid piece of backing. I then cut the backing to fit the shape of the top pieces, satin-stitched around the edges and between the pieces and produced something I've never tried before. It was hard cutting into a piece but I think I like the finished product much better. I'm also planning to enter it into a juried, mixed-media art exhibit. This will be my first attempt at anything like this and it will be interesting to see if they feel that fiberart fits their mixed media selections. If accepted I will be quite anxious to read the judges' comments. What do you all think? This is to represent bridges connecting DNA molecules, thus the title.
