Super Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse by Carol K

I watched a three hour video of the Super Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse of January 2019. It was mesmerizing. I wanted to capture it.

I felt inspired and knew I could find the scraps in my scrap baskets or regular stash. This is made with quilting cottons-commercial prints(fronts and backs of fabrics- reds, whites and blues) and silk (blues) from some ties I had purchased to add to my art quilts. Cotton batting.
I got scared. I was not feeling ''into'' it. I was worried that I could not pull it off just the way I wanted to. So, I thought of about 10 different designs I could do and do well. I decided, today, Saturday, that I would take the sketch I had made from that one moment of the Eclipse and DO it. 

I am really pleased with this little piece. For me it is a total eclipse of my fear. My astronomical fear was temporarily obscured by my determination to follow through. Thank you, PQ Season 10, 10.2 Red, White and Blue. This was so satisfying.
