More Favorites

I guess they are all my favorites, or at least interesting to me, or I wouldn't take pictures of them but this quilt is so beautiful it called out to me from across a crowded busy room!

It is called Ravens Return and was created by Terry Kramzar of Pennsylvania. It is, of course, an original design, put together by machine using raw-edge appliqué, fusing and piecing. Some commercial fabrics, some hand-dyed. A particularly wonderful detail is the machine quilting in the centers of the large sunflowers. The artist has chosen to quilt small irregular circles, like seeds, using variegated thread in autumnal colors. The shading on the ravens is pretty outstanding too.
