Personal Quilt

My Quilt

Inside Past
Outside
Future

About it:
Since day one that we started drafting about or quilt I knew what I wanted and what I wanted to include in each square. But never did I think I would struggled and I would take this long, although I have now accomplished my work of art I do ought to say it was a bit tough. Creating each square was journey, I ran out of ideas by the third one and had no clue on what to add on the next one, but I stayed calmed and refreshed my mind in what I wanted on the next one. I took a look at the quilts my classmates were working on and they helped me out though out the process. By looking at different quilts gave me ideas and also seen things that could’ve improved my work. Another thing about this project was that I brought in a couple of pictures of my past that I really liked adding and was satisfied on how they turned out in my quilt. Through out the project I did like how my quilt turned out and I believe it’s unique. The decisions I put out on there were perfect and made the whole quilt look flawless. But I must admit that some things that I wasn’t content about was that I still had two more things to add on but time ran out and I couldn’t add them after all, which was golf and a special person to me. My favorite square was “the outside of me” I loved love loved this square. I really enjoyed working on it because I had the help of other and my friends told me what they really thought about me. I added plenty of details and it came out really bright with all of the things they described me as. My least favorite square was “the inside of me” and once aging because I didn’t include something that represented golf and that one special person. Even though I forgot to include some things, the butterflies symbolize all my loved ones. One struggle I did have was that I missed a week of school and I didn’t work on my project for that long. Even though I wasn’t at school for a week I did accomplish to finish on time and to make the best out of it and just took care of business. Next time I will be sure to add all the items I wanted to add and stretch time. But overall I enjoyed working on this project because it was creative and in each square we got to express ourselves. Also working with this project on Photoshop we got to explore it all and now I know how to use more techniques, now for our next project I’m more than ready.
