This year's winner of Best Use of Color, sponsored by Hoffman California Fabrics, at Road to California 2013, is Masquerade by Birgit Schuller from Riegelsberg Germany. Look close to see the quilting and the wonderful edge treatment.
The quilt measures 77" x 79." It was started in 2011 and finished in 2012. It is Birgit's original design.
Artist statement: The gorgeously bright and wild Mardi Gras-themed fabric I used for the kaleidoscope center portions of the stars inspired me to design this original quilt. For the center portion, I traced and enlarged four of the masks. Colorful feather and star quilting designs plus embellishments with fuzzy yarns, gold paillet trim and hotfix Swarovski crystals add to the full Mardi Gras feeling!
