Blushing Triangles: Best Wall Quilt

This beauty won Best Wall Quilt at the Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival XX. It was also hung at the Quilt Fest of NJ in a tribute to the 20th anniversary of the Mid-Atlantic show. The artist describes it as the "fourth in a series based on an original digital painting." It is machine pieced and quilted. She also mentions that the fabric is silk not cotton.

The triangles look as though they may have been cut from hand-dyed or hand-painted fabric since the colors merge into each other a bit. The quilting is particularly striking. The stitching itself radiates from the centers of the diamonds and the thread colors largely match the fabric colors, intensifying color and creating depth with texture. In strategic areas the thread colors contrast adding a luminescent quality to the piece. Created by Gloria Hanson, 40.5 by 41.5 inches.
