Photographs cannot possibly show you how bright this quilt is. I literally felt like I needed to put sunglasses on just to be in the same room with those neon fabrics when I was working on this quilt. It was really comical when I unfolded the quilt to show to a friend before I sent it off and she shielded her eyes. That being said, I really love the design of this quilt, and I think the neon solids make it even more unforgettable.

What a beautiful quilt and I love the 'tree trunk' quilting that you have used. I enjoyed trying that technique out from your Craftsy Class. :)

ReplyDeleteI really like the pattern and the bright neon colors really make it pop! It also reminds me of old arcade game graphics (in a good way!).
ReplyDeleteI think it's the early 80s lover in me but I kind of adore the neons.
ReplyDeleteI really love the quilts that you make. I have a question about your craftsy class: are the free patterns paper pieced?
ReplyDeleteNow that's a pink and green quilt:-) Fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteElizabeth, we had such fun photographing this quilt! It was actually a snowy day in Santa Fe and we had to make it look like Spring! Editor Carol Zentgraf is actually in that picture - hidden behind the quilt and tree holding it in place. Thanks for submitting such a fun quilt. Vicki Anderson, Publisher Modern Quilts Unlimited
