Today's inspiration comes from two quilts that I felt were inspired by the cosmos. The first is quite obvious.
It is called "Azzuro" by Lisa R. Jenni of Redmond, WA. It is an original design that was inspired by weeks of reading about sun flares in the newspaper.
This one is called "Elsa's Knot" by Ann Helbling of Fargo, ND, and quilted by Clem Buzick. The design is called "Solar Flare" from the book, Blocks to Diamonds, by Cheryl Malkowski. It uses strip pieced squares and diamonds.
Here is a detailed shot of the quilting:
Thanks for reading today,

ReplyDeleteWow - That is amazing and has just inspired me to use a similar-class top that's been sitting around not exactly floating my boat to work some FMQ motifs so that it does float my boat. :D Thanks for sharing. Now I need to go surf the artists you've mentioned!
