It surprises me, as I look at this quilt, how something so ornate and sparkly can also be so calming and still - clearly it's that beautiful face that is influencing me!

Those paislies are placed perfectly, to my eye. Isn't it great when you can use fabric you've been saving for ages? It looks like a lot of your ideas and imagery and techniques merged beautifully in this piece. (And I feel your pain on the hot iron thing... I once did a gorgeous picket fence with tulle for the shadows and then promptly made a big melty mess of the whole thing.)Diane Perinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447372718275554860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-67215318466087787492008-08-01T17:47:00.000-07:002008-08-01T17:47:00.000-07:00I love that you chose a theme that is not about li...I love that you chose a theme that is not about light, but about another definition of the word. I love those fabrics. I have a friend who has collected fabric from many different countries and I love how she incorporates them in her quilts. And, you know, with all the sparklies, this has a definite lighted quality, too.Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.com
