Umbrellas Unfurled
(#5 of my 6 RSC14 projects)
is finished!!
Younger son and I
took it out for a photo shoot
in historic downtown Collierville.
61" wide x 79" long
Free motion quilted by Chris Ballard
This 2014 RSC project was originally inspired
by Elizabeth Hartman's Octagonal Orb design.
The shadows and the breeze kept things interesting,
but we had fun posing the quilt on the caboose.
Love the quilt with those yellow railings
and that glorious blue sky.
DS popped up just long enough for me to get his photo.
Lucky me to have a willing accomplice
during these photo shoot adventures.
Especially love the juxtapositions of bright colors and deep shadows,
the implied suggestion of journeys taken,
and the legacy of the engine's rusting metals . . .

It's beautiful Julie. I remember wondering last year what you were going to do with all those striped triangles. You have done a wonderful job!
This quilt is amazing, and you know I do not use that word easily!
Love the quilt! Great photo shoot too.

Beautiful! Love the swirl of colors!
I've been looking forward to seeing this quilt finished and i haven't been disappointed. It's wonderful
What fun taking all those lovely photo. I'm not sure which one I like best. Beautiful umbrellas unfurled!
Cheerful quilts are my favorites!! Yours certainly qualifies.
Beautiful! I love taking quilts on photo shoots. I may have to do that tomorrow, as a matter of fact.
Beautiful finish!
Your rainbow projects are so inspiring! I love all your happy colors. (Now I want to go back and read your last year's posts to see the blocks in progress...)
pretty! I like the picture with the train wheels at the bottom. LeeAnna
The colors are so brilliant against the neutrals, even in the shade. A gorgeous quilt!
Wow! Gorgeous finish! Love all the photos, the train really shows off the colors.
thanks for stopping by! your quilt looks fantastic! I love how the umbrellas are orientated differently- it really keeps your eye moving...
So great-looking! And what a great location shoot. Just gorgeous, congratulations!
Great finish and an inspired photo shoot: as you say the juxtaposition with the engine adds a whole extra layer of meaning.
Another beautiful RSC quilt! You must be feeling good about having so many finishes lately. Congratulations.
What a fun, colorful quilt! Great use of scraps too. Your quilt-y photo shoots are always fun and interesting.
What a great quilt!!! The floating head is my favorite shot lol - Love that you have an accomplice! Beautiful finish!
It's beautiful, Julie. Another wonderful, colorful piece of art.
Always LOVE your photo shoots! Just got to see this one, we went to Nashville yesterday to watch Tn Titans and Miami Dolphins game, my first PRO NFL game! It was fun! if you can believe it, I got sunburned!
