Road to No-Man's Land

Our Fast Friday Fabric Challenge required that we manipulate our fabric in some way and that the subject be a landscape. I had never tried a desert scene before. I started by pleating the sky. In order to prevent top-heaviness, I used trapunto on the mountains to flesh them out a bit. I tried ruching for the first time in the bush in the lower left corner. I also used some greenery from Hobby Lobby to balance out the texture in the total picture. When I first started, I thought this was going to be so ugly, but now that it's done, I'm happy with the coloring. My son and daughter-in-law have an empty spot over their love seat after they remodeled their living room, so I'm going to give this quilt to them, if they want it.
