Welcome Bloggers Quilt Festival Visitors!
I made this quilt for my daughter's 8th grade graduation
and it follows the design she created in a 6th grade art class on
Frank Lloyd Wright's style.
Her painting shown below represents a
Frank Lloyd Wright style waterfall
which she intended as a quilt pattern.
This quilt encompasses both my love of nature in quilts, andmy interest in abstraction in them as well.
The tonal fabrics read as solids, which
seem to be my current mode of choice for fabrics.
I have a new quilt planned in this format in greens, called
Garden Gate - stay tuned!
It looks like a modern stain glass it is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a STUNNER! It's a remarkable collaboration!

A very unique and oh so appealing quilt! So cool that you used your daughter's design. I can almost hear the water splash.

ReplyDeleteWow I'm stunned when I see your quilt! Your interpretation of your daughter's drawing is perfect! I love the design and the colors. Like stained glass... Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you made your daughter's drawing into a quilt. You've geiven her the best compliment and encouragement. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the solids! This makes me want to go experiment with skinny black strips...
ReplyDeleteI really like this quilt. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteGreat job. To take her drawing (which I can't believe was from a 6th grader)(don't even think I could draw that good) and make a quilt from it. Stunning. I just think that you two make a very talented and creative pair
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is fabulous! Truly a piece of art.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like this post ! How wonderful to have the quilt and the original painting together !
ReplyDeleteI have quilt drawings from my daughter's childhood, and they were colored in with markers, so they need fabrics that read like solid, also. You may have just inspired me to get to work on one of those designs !
Thank you for sharing this work. Would love to see how the greens turn out.
wow, it's a great quilt! I love this working together thing with your daughter, it must be special.
