Yesterday we enjoyed the Winners from the Wyndham Fabric Challenge. Today let’s look at some of the spectacular quilts that didn’t win!
I particularly enjoy the quilts that featured the darker colors in the challenge.
This double-wedding ring design is made with squares and rectangles and the yellow circle is the PERFECT accent!!
This is artist description….
The circular composition of this piece is great!
The intricate piecing of this next quilt appeals to me greatly……
I was puzzled by the name of the quilt, wondering what “Moiré” is. Here is Heather’s explanation…..
The Moiré effect happens when a ruled pattern is overlaid with a similar pattern…. The result is a wavy appearance
The quilting is also done in overlays…..
The maker of the next quilt described it as “blobs of color that glisten in the sun”……
As I always say….INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE”!!
This next quilt was appealing because it was so different from the others…..
This is her artist statement…..
These colors are vessels of memory, evoking the walls of my workshop, the blossoms in my grandmother’s garden, the fabrics from my aunt’s decor, my uncles’ homes during a transient chapter, and the paintings gracing my parent’s walls. Each stitch is a tribute to these colors, immortalizing the luminosity of my journey that commenced under the enchanting October moon.
How Cool!!
I particularly love how the quilting adds so much to the design.
Finally for today……
The inspiration for this quilt is the aftermath of an earthquake on a strike slip fault!! So Interesting!!
Come back tomorrow as we finish this category up….
