I’m taking an online class in color and composition taught by Katie Pasquini-Masopust.  Our first assignment was to make a piece using the 12 hues on the color wheel with 3 values of each on a neutral background.  Rather than extensive shopping or searching in my stash, I created the 36 needed colors using Inktense blocks on white fabric.

And from these fabrics fused my design on a black background.

This is about 12″ square, not yet quilted.

Questions go in, answers come out…  You just have to believe…

A few recent arrangements…

This double spiral has been in place for a week, much longer than I expected for something so obvious and accessible.

The other arrangements blend into the natural environment.  Less likely to be disturbed, these have been in place for a couple weeks.  Although the rising level of the lake may make changes.  I like the possibilities of this interaction.

A spiral rock slide inside the stump, partly natural, or someone else started this long ago.

Rocks drifting up the side of the stump and into crevices

And a clutch of “eggs” in a nest in the root

I love numbers.  So as today’s date approached, I thought about  making something to commemorate this number.  I considered a 12″ square quilt, but for me, that only seemed like two twelves, not three.  Then this morning, I woke up with the thought to make a cube, a cube that was 12cm on each side, 12x12x12.  With 12 pieces on each side.  And as long as I was making a cube, it might as well be a box.  So, starting at 12:12 this afternoon, in a little under 12 hours, that’s what I did.
