Any one of these, or all taken together, could make a wonderfully textural piece of textile art or a lap quilt.

Andy Warhol's painting (top left corner) on it's own is wonderful inspiration for a modern quilt; the bamboo installation at Moma translated quite literally into strips of fabric; the beautiful tree bark - first a piece or pieces of painted fabric and then stitched over top to give depth and texture; or a blurred vision of just the colours and textures of Hollie's paper collage...together or separately, the possiblities are endless!

You may remember I gave you a sneak peek of this last Monday on my "WIP Wednesday" (I know, I know, but we're back on schedule now!);  so here's the finished product on Monday like it's supposed to be.  *heh

The inspriration for this quilt was believe it or not, this:

*hee*  To follow up my WIP post on my  Finished Piece Monday, I thought I'd share a finished piece on WIP Wednesday.  *s*

This is a quilt some of you may remember I started back in 2009 - and when I was done making the top, I was sooooooo upset because I felt it was such a waste of a fabulous vintage fabric.

Although it didn't turn out as I had imagined it would, I do like it very much now.  (Time heals all wounds, as they say).  I quilted it last night in about an hour flat, because we desperately needed a "summer weight" quilt for our bedroom (which is situated on the surface of the sun, y'see. Or perhaps that's my menopausal symptoms talking.  No matter!)
