Hi!
My first quilt post here:)

I completed this in April.
I have an image in mind when I did this. I wonder if it is protrayed across.
What do you see in this quilt? Comments are welcome!

My first thought was sprouts popping up from the earth. It's a beautifuly quilt, so vibrant and full of life.

Nana2boys 05-23-2012 02:07 PM

Books on a shelves.

Sorry not a thing. Never was good at abstract art. Lovely colors though.
Will watch for other replies as you have my interest.

Layers of earth and lovely green plants coming up. Gorgeous nature colours of trees and grasses.

barny 05-23-2012 02:28 PM

I see crosses and also trees. I also see small lamps. Well, I looked again and I see a Tiffany Lampshade. beautiful!

I thought reeds swaying in the breeze!! Tell us what it was you saw! Welcome to the board!

Looking at a field of sugar cane? It's a great quilt.

burchquilts 05-23-2012 03:14 PM

First of all, welcome aboard a very fun board! As for your quilt, I have next to no imagination... it looks like "nature" to me. But I LOVE IT! It could also look like stained glass. But, whatever it's "supposed" to be, it's fabulous!

DogHouseMom 05-23-2012 03:18 PM

I see Bamboo :)

Lovely quilt! Even if my vision is different - but that is what makes art so wonderful.

liont 05-23-2012 03:25 PM

Plants, sprouts, nature, yes! Reeds, sugarcane fields, yes!
Bamboo. Bingo!

I have in mind a bamboo forest. All different shades of green. The horizontal represents the glimpse of sky and earth through tha gaps of the bamboo. The bottom is a mulch of pebbles and fallen leaves.

Thanks so much everyone for your encouraging words!!!
After working for so long in isolation, it feels so good to be among like-minded people :)

Whigrose 05-23-2012 03:25 PM

Hm, first thing that comes to my mind is the Everglades, or a rain forest. Maybe even books (horticulture, of course :-)

best,

Phannie1 05-23-2012 03:28 PM

I see the forest from the trees... I really like what you did.

EvelynJ 05-23-2012 03:45 PM

Welcome! Glad to have you? Hmmm what do I see, something that would look great in my home? LOL I see small trees (I call them treelings). Or a bookshelf with books bound in greens and browns. I love it no matter what it is.

fxsts93kf 05-23-2012 03:46 PM

Welcome from Ohio! Your quilt is beautiful! Very organic!

lollygagging 05-23-2012 04:58 PM

It reminds me of bamboo. Whatever you had in mind, it is a beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing.

NanaCsews2 05-23-2012 05:08 PM

Hmmm. I see quilts on clotheslines made with pulleys, in a jungle of bamboo.

Latrinka 05-23-2012 05:22 PM

I think of bolts of fabric on a shelf! It's gorgeous! I love it! Now my curiousity is up though, what was the image in your mind?

Helen S 05-23-2012 05:24 PM

I see shelves filled with wonderful books!

I had bamboo forest in mind when I made it.

Thumbelina 05-23-2012 06:10 PM

welcome from NE Ohio. Your quilt reminds of the bamboo that grew behind my aunts house.

Earleen 05-23-2012 06:45 PM

debcavan 05-23-2012 06:51 PM

tesspug 05-23-2012 07:08 PM

over the river and through the woods!

Maria C 05-23-2012 08:37 PM

Lovely colour work. Great image interpretation.

mudsprite 05-23-2012 09:22 PM

I do not know what you wished to express but the richness of your colors and beauty of your fabric combine to make a wonderful artistic design that seems very organic and expresses - to me, a lush and verdent scenerio.

Thank you

jackied 05-23-2012 10:12 PM

It makes me think 'jungle' Its very striking.

Heather Hayllar 05-24-2012 01:45 AM

My first thoughts are of grasses in abundance.
Its neat

dilyn 05-24-2012 02:54 AM

I thought of fabric on a shelf, waiting to be picked and put into a quilt.
