Life in Technicolor

I'm so happy to be able to show this quilt. It started out many months ago when I had an inkling to make a colorwheel quilt. I thought I was going to make Jovelle Hoverson's giant colorwheel, but then I put an arc on the design wall and it took me a different direction. I started playing with those graceful arcs of color and Life in Technicolor was born. It's a queen sized baby and fits in my guest bedroom just perfectly. This one will put a smile on your face on the dreariest winter day.
Angela worked with me on the quilting. As you can see...simply stunning.
Can you say, breathtaking!
My favorite part probably doesn't show in these pictures, but I love the rainbow colored binding. Have a happy weekend everyone! Another new quilt on Monday!

    No, I can't say 'breathtaking' because all the loveliness really has taken my breath away. Your design is inspired and perfectly paired with the quilting. I am still breathless, but I can spell 'collaborative creativity.' This is part of what makes quilting so special to me. It lends itself so well to bringing hearts and hands together. Thanks again for sharing your art as it evolves. You really inspire.

    Wow this is gorgeous! I especially think the quilting brings it all to life and compliments the piecework wonderfully with all of th archs. I can't afford to send my quilts out nor can I free motion quilt yet - so I try to avoid large spaces of one color - but Id love to do something like this one day. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Now I am wondering about where I can take the design when I eventually get to making it up.

    I'm so glad I stumbled upon this -- I am making the Colorwheel quilt and somewhere along the way my arcs lost their perfect-ness. Thus when I line them up they don't exactly make a perfect circle. I was soooo bummed and was trying to figure out a way to make it work.
    This might be it!
