3rd Place – Large Quilts – 2020 Las Colcheras Quilt Show, Las Cruces, New Mexico
This quilt was made using the paper piecing technique and a pattern by Judy Niemeyer called Sunflower Illusions. When I started designing the quilt I planned to make it larger, and so I began making a number of the “sunflowers” in orange-red colorways. My personal consultant, my husband Dave, and I spent hours laying the suns out. The layout we came up required additional suns which I made in yellow to brighten the composition. The vibrant colors harmonize against the deep-hued background. I am very pleased with how it turned out.
During the Quilt Show in Las Cruces, everyone made a different association with what they see. Some read SOS and others see $$$. How about you?
