Tin Ceiling Quilt Comes Home

This quilt has been away since early this summer. I've missed it even though I was so proud to have it in the Scrap Art Exhibit at the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles. I breathed a sigh of relief when the Fed Ex man brought it home.
Since it was ready to hang, I hung it right out of the box in my hallway gallery.  It's a great place for it.  I walk by it all day long and it's protected from direct sunlight.  I may have to watch Bruno to make sure he doesn't rub up against it though.
A few more pictures in case you're like me and can't stop looking at it.

    It's amazing how wonderfully the quilting completes this quilt. You're right, I can't stop looking at it either. :)

    Wow, that's amazing. Did you do the quilting, too? (I hope that's not a rude question)

    Your quilt is just beautiful! And congratulations on its entry and exhibit.

    And I am soooo glad it made its way home to you. I've read stories... well, you know, I'm sure.

    I love the colors and the quilting! Well done!

    Oh my, that quilt is amazing with your stunning quilting. I made a spiderweb selvege quilt last year as well, but I took a different approach. Here's a pic:

    that quilt is so amazing, and Angela is so amazing at her quilting talents too! I really want to send my spiderweb selvage quilt to her to quilt too! She did a phenomenal job on my argyle quilt :) And she has a vintage grandmothers flower garden of mine right now :)

    Wow, the quilting is INCREDIBLE! I'm at a point in my quilting career where I just want the quilting to hold the thing together and not detract. Eventually I hope that the quilting will be part of the art!

    I'm so disappointed that:
    1. I didn't get to meet you in San Jose.
    2. I didn't get to see the quilt up close and personal.

    another time...

    First... What a beautiful quilt!!

    Second.. A question regarding your hallway gallery. Do you have track lighting in your hall? The idea is super great and one I might be able to borrow; except for the lighting issue..... My hall seems so long and dark and I'm not sure I could convince my husband to put in track lighting since we've already replaced the hall lights once =( Guess I need to pay attention to the natural light in the hall during the day.

    I have always admired the selvage spiderweb quilt. I often find myself telling people about it in passing when yet another instructor in a quilting class tells everyone selvages are to be discarded! Truly amazing, the quilt is magnificent!
