Inspired by the mosaic circles on the Aqua Terrace floor, and in order to prevent the design from becoming too busy, I decided to give the viewer&#8217;s eye a place to rest: two large silvery moon shapes, made using a stitched patchwork of coffee bags and other foil-lined packaging. Then, I arranged the blocks around these circular shapes. When I was satisfied with the arrangement, I stitched the blocks together into rows, and then I stitched the rows together into sections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images

Recycled zippers accented the circumference of the moons. Everything was backed with another layer of felt, cut 2&#8243; larger all around, with edges folded to the front to form a binding. I dressed up the folded edge by couching silver cord as I secured the felt edge. Four grommets&#8211;which may have been the hardest part of the quiltmaking for me&#8211;allowed the piece to be hung. Samantha Connors, Executive Director of Da Vinci Art Alliance, hung out the office windows to do the mounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"527\" height=\"700\" data-id=\"3212\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/34Samhanging-527x700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/34Samhanging-527x700.jpg 527w, https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/34Samhanging-226x300.jpg 226w, https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/34Samhanging-768x1020.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/34Samhanging-1157x1536.jpg 1157w, https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/34Samhanging-1542x2048.jpg 1542w, https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/34Samhanging.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"501\" height=\"700\" data-id=\"3214\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/35-ELquilt-hung-501x700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/35-ELquilt-hung-501x700.jpg 501w, https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/35-ELquilt-hung-215x300.jpg 215w, https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/35-ELquilt-hung.jpg 572w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 501px) 100vw, 501px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"527\" src=\"https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/36-label-700x527.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/36-label-700x527.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/36-label-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/36-label-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/36-label-1536x1157.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.eleanorlevie.com\/quilting-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/36-label.jpg 1713w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next, I chose a site for the trash-stash art quilt, which would give me the dimensions.
