Famed poet Robert Frost’s “Fire and Ice” ponders the end of the world. I often wonder what Frost would think about the current events of today and how he might rewrite his often-quoted poem with the threat of climate change, discrimination, war, and even social media. I made this quilt using all scraps from another quilt to reduce waste, something I’ve become more mindful of the more I quilt and purchase fabric for a new quilt. It was entirely improv pieced, even the background, from trimmings from another quilt. I wasn’t sure where I would take this when I started outside of trying to create a slight light to dark from the center of the eventual triangles and let the fabric dictate the final piece.
