Sunburst Medallion
20" x 22"
This wall hanging was made for the auction at the 2007 International Quilt Association show in Houston. An embellished ivory batiste block was layered over a pieced "sunburst" block in rust and gold, then bordered with an oriental print. The heirloom techniques used included shaped puffing, shaped lace, transparent reverse applique windows, shadow applique, and satin stitched gimp cord. I liked the effect so much that I decided to expand on the ideas and make a large quilt with many of these blocks creating a secondary pattern. The result was "Glory Hallelujah" (go back to my gallery and click on the thumbnail to see this quilt).
