The quilt measures about 60"x 80" and is a combination of concentric squares and circles of varying sizes. Most of the squares and all the circles have been made using the shibori technique I used to make this quilt. Like that quilt I rented time on a long arm quilting machine to do the quilting. It's amazing how quickly a top of this size can be quilted on one of those babies. If I had an extra $10,000 laying around, I'd definitely consider investing in one.
Oh well...more tomorrow.

That quilt is absolutely astounding. Quite possibly my favorite quilt...ever. I love love love the colors.
It's fantastic!
i am saving my money. simply stunning. you are a master.
This is definitely a winner. Glad you got to use a longarm and quilt it yourself. I'm going to google "shibori technique". Not familiar with this term.
Stunning - and I wouldn't mind taking it into that 'shack' and curling up under it for an afternoon nap - bliss!
Wow. So so beautiful. And I hear you on the long arm machine. I'm anxious to try one out but also scared it will ruin me forever on quilting on my lil' home machine... Your wonderful quilting on this is pushing me over the edge. Time to try it out!
Fun, fun quilt, and the juicy colors look great in teh faded setting of the park. :-)
wow! beautiful!
Dang, I love what you do!
More inspirational/stunning work! Love it - Big Nate was worth all that perspiration! Great pictures too!
Absolutely beautiful, I love it. It makes me happy.
It's spectacular- so vibrant, I love the colors!
I really like the quilting on this (and of course the quilt itself!). The wavy lines make it look really free-spirited.
I love the old roadside shack - AND the beautiful quilt! I'd be thinking that the good ole Texas rust would get all over the back. I'm a Texas native - and really love Austin - enjoy the summer heat. I love your stitching.
I just love the quilts you have made, love the bright colors.
This quilt is is so beautiful. Congratulations on all of your wonderful finishes.
I can't wait for your book to come out to try some of those dying techniques! This looks wonderful.
So so so beautiful. I just love it!
Another great quilt! Very colourful and happy!
Not only do I like the color scheme, I really like the modern sensibility in both the piecing and the quilting. Your quilt seems to be more lively, just because of the movement between pieces that are varied in width. Really nice work.
What a stunning quilt. I love the vibrancy of those amazing colours. Thanks for posting the Netanya photos too - can't wait to get back there myself one day! And good luck to your son. Hope he swims well :-)
A friend just forwarded me your blog. LOVE your amazing quilts! Those bright colors really pop. Great design and mostly....I love your photoshoot locations. Awesome.
We're actually moving to "the greatest city in Texas" very soon! Well, we'll be in Georgetown, but we're inching our way closer to Austin.
Thanks for the great blog!
Not only are your quilts delicious to look at, the way you present them in these photos is wonderful!! Thanks for sharing your talent with the rest of us!
This is such a lovely, happy quilt, it just makes me smile!
