Leah Gravells of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, created "Summer Solstice" 43" x 52" using improvisational piecing. It was quilted on a stationery machine. The use of color and fabric should be looked at through the lessons you are learning about color in our Design to Quilt class. We have already shown you the 2nd place quilt by Barbara Oliver Hartman. It was the one that we couldn't figure out how it was made. This one is tricky too. Take a look.

Definitely think sew and flip. Hard to tell how narrow the strips are. Looks like batiks which would be easier to handle if narrow strips. A lovely quilt.

How inspiring! As Suz says, it would look so striking from a distance. A new meaning for "across a crowded room" (as the song says).

Whew!! One way to get rid of a roll of bali or other pops. Nicely done.

absolutely fascinating! I bet if you stood a good distance back from this it has a whole different impact!
