Afterglow - The Quilt

Afterglow,

my liberated wedding ring quilt, 

is finished!!

(inspired by the work of Gwen Marston and Freddy Moran)

Last October,

Chris handed me a box full of scraps 

leftover after making her Borealis quilt.

(now named Free Spirit - custom quilting pending)

My challenge was to make a companion quilt.

Chris custom quilted Afterglow,

using multiple threads

and some wonderful ideas.

(photos will supersize for detail viewing)

I especially love how she selectively quilted the borders.

Instead of seeing rows of flying geese, 

there is a border full of wonderful geometric shapes.

(very hard to capture in a photo)

60" x 79"

And, if you look closely,

you'll find one block

deliberately turned 

in the opposite direction.

Like the geese in the borders,

it is much more fun to be liberated!
