IF: Instinct and Urban Decay

This is my photo of Urban Decay in Ashland. It is the remains of a greenhouse which has completely disappeared since this photo was taken. The challenge was to take a section of the photo and create a quilt out of it.
I used soy silk to replicate the plastic sheeting and my gelatin printed fabric to replicate the wire fencing.

Buttons were added where there are circles in the photo. I mounted the quilt top on black batting, layered a backing behind it and quilted the piece leaving the batting exposed around the outside. No binding.


Insinct was more difficult. As you can see I am not much of an illustrator but my first thought when I saw the word instinct was to run!
