Traditional and Not

Traditional block designs used in new ways. Is it a Carolina Lily living inside of a tumbling block patch? The lily blocks rise up like tall flowers in a garden border. Floating above them is an open, embroidered image of lilies.

This quilt is also using light effects and transparency. The artist choose to start with darker fabrics in the lower right corner moving the light lily "stems" across and up the quilt until they reach the open center where the blue sky takes over the composition. She uses the backs of her fabrics several times to enhance the feeling of light beaming out from amongst the flowers.
