 Lap quilt by Teresa Ballard This week's inspiration comes from Teresa Ballard. I love all of the colorful birds in this quilt! She says that all of the birds and backgrounds are from my fabrics. The background is a discontinued gradient called Sea and Sky. It was replaced with Midnight. These birds show the variety of colors that you get from gradients. They are great for fussy cutting for specific effects like the wings of these birds.
For sharing, Teresa received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months! If you have made anything with my hand dyed fabric I hope you will consider sharing it in the Customer Gallery. The only rule is that projects have to be complete. It doesn't have to be made totally from hand dyed fabric, just include a recognizable amount.

That is an interesting use of the gradient. These lovely birds show that the variations are subtle but excellent at creating beautiful quilts.

This is a beautiful piece and looks like an inspiration from my back yard with the many black and red wing black birds flying in as soon as the feeders are full. Leave a Reply. |
