I hear the music. You get a "Quilter Extraordinaire Award" for this.

My body used to move like that naturally when I was 20 - at 50 my body is not cooperating. My brain knows what it should look like......

That's like me in the Zumba class I take at the Y.
I can see it and I can feel it, but my body can't do it.
The instructor refers to those goofy moments as involuntary solos.

Love it!! I'm inspired :)

Oooh that is wonderful. Love the motion in it, your colors, and how you used your practice blocks on the back.

caliquocat 06-21-2011 07:49 PM

Beautiful colors, some of my favorites. I love the motion you've created.

Ripped on Scotch 06-21-2011 08:08 PM

I can see the movement in that. Very nice job.

What a great quilt! Love the colors and the pattern. So much motion. :-)

Whoa, that quilt has a lot of motion going on. Very eye-catching!!

hudgoddess 06-21-2011 08:33 PM

That's an awesome quilt! I just started back at the gym. I haven't taken an aerobics class in 20 years! Now they're all Zumba and Hula and misc dance classes. Will my body loosen up and flow again????
Anyway, great quilt and I love pieced backs!!!

This is making me drool! I LOVE the back!

joym 06-22-2011 04:43 AM

Holy Cow...what a fantastic piece of art. Can't imagine how you could part with it even tho' I know it will be appreciated (according to you)......the colors, movement, quilting everything is top notch.
I am older than you and take Latin dance at Senior Center in Columbia (Md.) ..can't get my hips to move either.lol...but I love the class
Keep up the good work.

Fabaddict 06-22-2011 04:52 AM

WOWWWWWWWW, that is gorgeous

feline fanatic 06-22-2011 04:52 AM

I absloutley love this! I have long admired the twisted log cabin block. I seem to remember reading it was one of the standard block patterns in EQ. Is there anywhere that this PP pattern is available to those of us who do not have EQ?

PaperPrincess 06-22-2011 04:53 AM

Just stunning! The back is also wonderful!

Mariposa 06-22-2011 04:54 AM

Wow! Both sides are great!

Now, THAT is creative, and absolutely beautiful on both sides. I think you captured the fluidity just perfectly .... and the colors capture the essence quite nicely. Well done. Thanks for sharing.

Drew 06-22-2011 05:41 AM

OH WOW! Motion is everywhere in your quilt. Especially like the "ribbon" border. It gives it motion as well! GREAT JOB!! THANKS FOR SHARING!!

OKLAHOMA PEACH 06-22-2011 05:44 AM

Well done, yes the motion and colors really show a latin flare. Beautiful!

sharin'Sharon 06-22-2011 05:48 AM
