"Wild Thing" journal quilt

My journal group's topic for our monthly meeting was "Wild Thing", in honor of Maurice Sendak. Here's my little piece (with apologies to Mr. Sendak):

"Wild Thing" (July 2012, 8.5 x 11")

I had a lot of fun sifting through my mountain of selvedge strips looking for amusing slightly naughty words to use on this...I might consider a "ransom note" quilt in the future with this technique. (Tip, if you want to try: use plenty of Fray Check.)

I was particularly excited to finally find a use for the cute little girly that Marlene Shea gave us all last year when she was demonstrating how to emboss sheet metal for our art quilts - machine stitched right through it without even a hiccup.

My next journal goal is to start a series...I'm considering "Steampunk" (my 8-year-old's request), Sol Lewitt (there were more things I wanted to try), and Charlie Harper (which are extremely cute, but don't feel particularly artistic on my part, since I'm just basically copying). Any series theme suggestions, Faithful Readers?
