Inspired

"Rhinestones in a Diamond World" - Victoria Findlay Wolfe quilted by Shelly Pagliai, 2014 
 When I taught at the International Quilt Study Center & Museum, I had along with me a quilt, "Rhinestones in a Diamond World"-2014 
I had made, that had been inspired by a quilt at IQSCM, 

Above is my version, where I added made fabric, and accentuated the Shape that the diamonds make. and played up my corners by rounding them to fit inside the navy blue frame. Playing with solids and balancing color, was a fun project to take on!

Having  this quilt in my classroom to inspire the students was a real treat, and I am thankful to IQSCM for allowing me to share it with the students.

  1. So interesting to see the inspiration quilt and how you ran with it. I'm curious to know how big the original quilt is and if size-wise they are similar.

  6. I love the quilt you chose By Yvonne. It seems it could be whipped up in a day and still be something special.
