Shadow: Transformation 1 started off as Singapore #2, but just never looked right. It was a dud, another problem child. During a year living in Singapore, I made three quilts, but only one worked. Singapore #2 sat around for 6 years before I decided to over-dye it (thankfully it's not a huge quilt) with Procion-dyes and then add some appliqué, hand-embroidery, and machine-stitching. Now, Shadow: Transformation 1 is a real beauty.
