Stormy Seas Canada 150

I have finished piecing my fibre art piece to celebrate Canada's 150 birthday. I used the Storm at Sea block, 2" squares, for the majority of the landscape, which is mostly commercially printed gradated fabrics.

The sky is a mix of piecing and solid fabric in hand dyed cotton sateen and hand marbled cotton. 

I strip pieced the Prairies and the buildings that represent Canada's metropolitan areas. 

There are dark blue swirl batik pieces to represent the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean with the Maritime provinces.  

All the provinces are represented in the piecing. The Yerritories will be represented thru quilt stitching images in the sky. 

The entire piece is a triptych.  Each section is about 30" long.

Pacific Ocean, mountains of BC, foothills of Alberta and hills of western Saskatchewan.

Prairies of Saskatchewan and Manitoba; water, rocks and trees of Northern Ontario.
See the sailboat?

Metropolitan areas of Ontario and Quebec, strip farmland of Quebec, Atlantic ocean and Maritime provinces.
