So I may have underestimated the making of a quilt for the first time and suffered for it, but had fun making this. Although I'm not entirely finished with it but will continue working on it to be a quilt I’ll use. It kept me busy and was a quarantine project I got to tackle. This differently plays on the homely aspect of this quarantine and something I would do when I’m home since in this past semester and how our world has changed so much in just a short amount of time and cut abruptly short. I’m really satisfied with how this piece turned out despite my limited skills and a project I never done before. As this qulit not only reflects on the current time that we are facing, and to me, it really shows the thinking process behind this Method class. Becoming a quilt to definitely remember for the rest of my life.
I took a gamble and tried something new and I will continue doing so throughout my journey in Stamp and outside. Methods put emphasis on why I am creating something and focus on the process than the actual product. I felt this remapping project was the one that allowed me to really engage in the process shown in my google drive. I honestly struggled after classes went online and it was hard to find motivation. I am proud of myself to be able to pull through the most interesting first year college experience and this class was definitely a challenge to navigate that side of creation in methods through this.
In my first year of stamps, there is still a big transition to studying Art and Design at a University level. Compared to a self taught/highschool education that focuses only on the aesthetic of the final product. With this quilt it was a lot of work and trouble shooting more than I’ll admit, but I am happy with how it turned out.
