I've been planning this quilt for about 17 years, and it's finally finished -- except for the binding. I finished quilting it tonight!

When we lived in California, 17 years ago, metallic fabrics were very popular. Then we moved to Utah, and there wasn't any to be found. I had bought some beautiful African prints with metallic accents, and developed the pattern. Then I begged the manager at the store where I work to get some, and she always said, no. Now I'm the manager, and I ordered the Morris Holiday fabrics, just for this quilt. It's the perfect fabric!

In July, I asked for opinions about the black fabric that was in the big triangles. Most said to add more black. I left it on my design wall for a few days and finally figured out that the black and white became the design that you saw. The beautiful fabric just got lost. So I made the background all white. I'd also like to make it with an all black background.

Just beautiful and really stunning! I love metallic fabrics, too.

Beautiful quilt. It is a real shame that metallics are so hard to find.

Very nice!

Your quilt is gorgeous. I saw that fabric line in a quilt store last week.....and the fabric line was stunning whether you like metallics or not, I had to stop and stare and chat with the owner about the line. Your choice of pattern and quilting shows off its true beauty. Congrats.

Very pretty, love that pattern and the fabrics you chose for it!!!

Wow! Beautiful! Great job!

Beautiful quilt! You did a wonderful job on it, and the fabrics are just right for this quilt!

Worth every day it took to be done....a real beautiful work of art. (heart):)

That is really different! So cool! Great Job!
