Illumination

This is another one of my favourite quilts.  I pieced the top in 2006, and quilted it in 2007. 

This quilt really pushed me out of my comfort zone.  Whilst I had made scrappy quilts before, it was never quite on this scale, with the number of different fabrics.

I was trying to get the effect of an explosion of light towards the top right; toning the brown fabric from there, with shadowing of the star blocks.  




I used left over pieces on the back.

    Well, you succeeded brilliantly with your explosion of light! I love the back. Pieced backs are so much more interesting, although every once in a while I want a full-fabric back.
