Modern Quilt Art

My friend was nice enough to let me do a photo shoot of my quilts at her house. My ceilings weren't high enough, plus her house is like a magazine (which makes my stuff look nicer). I liked how the strips mirrored all the books. This piece ended up in the youth room at church, adding quite a splash of color. It was sad to give it up, but at least I can still see it all the time.

Wow! It's amazing how different it looks when you turn it vertical! I didn't even recognize it as the same piece!

OAMC day is Sept. 14th. Call me! I don't have your email or a church directory!!!
