Winter Solstice

Just finished my quilt from an online class called “Instant Art Quilt” with Ellen Lindner.  You start with a great hand dyed fabric and tear it apart into rectangles of various sizes and arrange the rectangles in a pleasing manner. Then you add accents.  I decided to add the dark blue-purple tree branches as my accents.  I also got a lot of practice with my free motion quilting on this quilt. It is 20 inches by 30 inches. I used a rainbow variegated thread from superior threads for the quilting.

I will be giving this quilt to my daughter as a table topper.  She is starting her first job and will be in her first apartment.  We bought her some great dishes from Kohls.  I thought this bright quilt would go well with her dishes.

Thanks for reading.
