A trail of feelings linger, like clouds behind a jet plane…in how I felt sitting between two worlds. Feelings to process or express and maybe just to let them be, as they were…and as I was.
Nature's brilliance, LOVE, past in its darkness, roles fading and focusing…and the present bright dancing with nature…and shadows lurking.
This quilt seems to speak it in Art.
The focus appears off…and the color combinations seems to work and yet seem at odds. Perfect for how I felt that day…trying to pull off relaxed in nature with unnatural energies swirling. And, nature and the past fading; dying. And yet a new chapter opening for my daughter. It was like I was in a twilight zone…
I looked up twilight….
"when the light is half-faded, but the world is not yet totally dark, is twilight. If you are between two states, like asleep and awake…"
I like this idea, for I was between two states. Relationships not totally dark, for their presence can arrive at any time…and not totally gone. And, a secondary twilight between the wedding and their uncomfortable 'reunion'.
This quilt has tones of twilight.
There is a tree on my mail route that looks like this one. A few wispy leaves clinging on….giving it an air of stubborness.

This was very intriguing border fabric and I am surprised, but happy with the final outcome. I still have to find a fabric to do the final binding, and finish machine quilting. I am pleased she captured my twilight feelings.
