My version of Bonnie Hunter's On Ringo Lake is finished and sitting on top of my sister's version of Bonnie's Hunter's En Provence at her house at the moment. I brought it there for a sisterly Show and Tell. I learn so much about how to make successful scrap quilts from Bonnie Hunter and Gyleen Fitzgerald. I learn so much from their mystery quilts. I am making progress on Gyleen's Graffitti mystery quilt. I cannot show pictures of her blocks here but I can show pictures of the blocks I have added. The Graffitti quilt is an alphabet quilt. I used the letters she drafted to spell the famous pangram "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog." After perusing line drawing of foxes and dogs on the internet I drew a fox and dog.
Here is my fox and my lazy dog. ( I blurred Gyleen's number blocks.) The lighting of this photo is terrible. I was having trouble with the proportional sizing of the two animals. I made the fox first and since it was about 28 inches long I made the first dog a little less that that so he could jump over him.
My first dog was just too big. I wonder if my second is too small. Hmmmm???
My next concern is to understand proper attribution of one's quilts. I drew my pictures after looking at a number of line drawing. The fox is based on a felt mask of a fox, a line drawing of a jumping fox and the feet came from a coloring page version of a fox. I put them together in a drawing and made my appliques. The dog is a drawing I made while looking at a line drawing. I originally planned to paper piece it so I drew it using all straight lines. I changed my mind after them making the drawing of my second version of my fox. I drawings are not really original. They are cobbled together from other peoples stuff. They are definitely derivatives. I am not sure what is kosher. Any experts out there?
