It's amazing! The black/gray is so much like a cocoon and the beads are butterfly scales without a doubt.kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11458267354320757761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-14428163804611372392012-02-13T14:55:51.490-08:002012-02-13T14:55:51.490-08:00Thank you everyone to being so kind.

Yesterday after getting off the computer I immediately started free motion quilting as a way of dealing with my frustration. <br /><br />Today at work I discovered my third mistake (this one easily fixed, luckily) in the last few days, so hopefully the streak is over and I can keep everything straight for a while.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561464255559358535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-29866745188024911412012-02-13T14:22:27.646-08:002012-02-13T14:22:27.646-08:00Nikki, I know you were distressed by your orientat...Nikki, I know you were distressed by your orientation mistake, but really, it is kind of funny! Surprised you were the only one--we had so many ideas in the air when we came up with the guidelines. Like others, I like it very much in either orientation. It has a very magical quality. Without the cocoon explanation it still has a sense of something dramatic and amazing happening. I love those buttons so much!Terry Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16650965451863656517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-79789043353595537032012-02-13T09:24:46.098-08:002012-02-13T09:24:46.098-08:00Love the vibrant colours, and Brenda is right, the...Love the vibrant colours, and Brenda is right, the detail images are incredible.

What a great idea. I think it works in the vertical position. It is you, but a little different - maybe it is the new dimensions.

I especially like the loose blanket stitched black edge contrasted with the beaded edge. The painted progression is beautiful and as always, I love your mastery of the quilting before the painting. Do you dye those buttons? They match so beautifully!Deborah Boscherthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630878222793439712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-45241426762666371032012-02-12T15:47:30.055-08:002012-02-12T15:47:30.055-08:00I really like the bubbly effervescence of the butt...I really like the bubbly effervescence of the buttons and rainbow colors. I'm giggling a little that the quilt was telling you to go portrait orientation even as you were convinced it needed to be landscape. I love the colors and textures and would be very interested to see how it all works vertically.Kristin Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05955546754675680404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-5648076395698152342012-02-12T14:05:39.986-08:002012-02-12T14:05:39.986-08:00Everybody, you MUST click on these images to see t...Everybody, you MUST click on these images to see the detail in the larger versions. As a viewer coming fresh to the piece, I think the vertical orientation works too (in fact, I prefer it to the horizontal version which looks kind of upside down to me). Those butterflies get into all kinds of contortions as they emerge.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117195205038571265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-42287481213685746412012-02-12T13:46:11.519-08:002012-02-12T13:46:11.519-08:00I like it vertical also, and all the vibrant color...I like it vertical also, and all the vibrant colors and beads really do look like an emerging butterflyKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821013559380002293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-7183271555649948602012-02-12T13:38:39.127-08:002012-02-12T13:38:39.127-08:00Oh how beautiful you portrayed those colors and th...Oh how beautiful you portrayed those colors and the circle shapes are the icing for me.

I love the texture you got in the dark cocoon part. And the color and shapes and circles emerging from that darkness are wonderful. It looks like there's so much beautiful contrast (the bright colors, swirling quilting, smooth button circles) against that crinkly dark. I will look forward to seeing this in person one of these days!Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.com
