Ode to the Northern Lights
 
1 Attachment(s)
[ATTACH=CONFIG]549286[/ATTACH] This is an original design combining bargello techniques with 10 degree strip piecing and applique. My fourth large quilt and the first original. I used 23 different batiks to do this one.

That is stunning! The bargello technique really gives it movement and the batiks you chose make it glow.

WOW! I love "art" quilts. I have made two so far, kept one and gave the other away as a gift. They are so much fun to make.

Beautiful use of bargello. Your design is lovely.

Simply phenomenal!
Husband & I spent the first 4 days of April in Iceland. We had hoped to see the lights. The night of the tour it was too cloudy, so we were not able to. Still on my bucket list.
Thanks for sharing!
