All together now - Barcode Series

#1 - On the Rocks - the words found on the selvedge of the multicoloured fabric - quilted in yellow in concentric crazy rectangles, inspired by the jazzy fabric --
#2 - Fish are Jumping - long lines of quilting in yellows and oranges, about 1/4" apart, soaring and doubling back on themselves at various angles -- #3 - Dizzy Spider - quilting in orange thread, following the spirals and extending them to the other areas --
#4 - Goldfish Bowl - quilting consists of outlining and "colouring in" the fish in reds and oranges, then meandering blue "seaweed" in between. The central square was thrown together for a challenge on the UK Sewing list - my challenge was to get out my unused serger and do a few simple seams - after which the rest was put together conventionally --#5 - still unnamed, still unquilted --#6 - quilted in horizontal rows in blocks of various colours, but not yet cut to size (too much spiderweb, right?). During the long stretches of contemplative quilting time, no name emerged --
I'm having a break from these and getting on with some handstitching on a piece that needs to be finished soon.

When I make more Barcodes, they'll be smaller! These are about a metre wide and though I love sitting at the machine for hours doing the quilting, that's not the best way to do lots of different experiments in the interaction of pieced fabric and the quilting.
