Here's a colorful quilt from The Quilt Show favorite Helen Godden of Australia. Rainbow Lorikeet was hand-painted and then free-motion quilted in a variety of colors.

You will want to see all the different quilting designs in the white area. WOW!

Helen says:

"The Rainbow Lorikeet soars swiftly and with grace through the tree tops like a colorful dart.  The bright primary colors of this Australian parrot are captured in detail, painted on the stunning white silk sateen, and surround by a burst of rainbow graded stitching celebrating his beautiful colors."

Helen's quilt won Honorable Mention, Art-Painted Surface at Houston 2012.

A lesson in how quilting can create a sense of a living bird.
