100 Day Project - Day Five

I’ve been preparing some hexagonals for a mixed-media collage piece I have in mind. I was inspired by an idea my aunt had for this 100-day project of making a quilt, merged with a notion I’ve been playing with for a while of creating some personal maps.

It also reminded me of this quotation, collected a few months back…

“In your life, the people become like a patchwork quilt. Some leave with you a piece that is bigger than you wanted and others smaller than you thought you needed. Some are that annoying itchy square in the corner, and others that piece of worn flannel. You leave pieces with some and they leave their pieces with you. All the while each and every square makes up a part of what is you. Be okay with the squares people leave you. For life is too short to expect from people what they do not have to give, or were not called to give you.” ~ Anna M. Aquino

I’m not entirely sure how it’s all going to come together yet but I’m enjoying the process and experimenting with a couple of ideas.
