WE WON!

The Milwaukee Art Quilters pulled it out again! We took first place in the Ultimate Guild Challenge in Knoxville this weekend! The quilt pictured is my entry "Epicenter". It is 36" x 36", has 78 different hand dyed or batik cottons..the red rat tail is the line going across the center of the quilt. The rat tail is hand couched down to the surface..There are 5 1/2 yards of rat tail on this quilt!

This quilt was made shortly after the Haitian Earthquake. The background quilting is all seismic graphics radiating out from the center like aftershocks.

A fun quilt to do..the pattern is a blending pattern I developed during my color theory days called petal pixels..what a fun way to watch color flow across a surface!
