Sunset quilt ideas?

Hello everyone!

I recently purchased a beautiful rainbow batik jelly roll pack - on sale and completely beautiful..anyways I live in Tucson and the sunsets here are amazing so my next project is a sunset quilt using the pinks-reds-to yellows and greys to make the sunset and the browns-greens to do the mountains.

I am having trouble deciding how to actually make the sunset...I thought maybe a Bargello would be pretty, but do you guys have any other ideas?

thanks!

Delectable Mountains. I was working on a similar idea, same reasons. (I live in Maricopa). The browns and greens could be the mountains and the sky could be your sunset colors. But, the bargello sounds good as well. Show us what you come up with!

Google " Twilight in the West" by Shirley Gisi. It won best use of colour award in Quilt Week.

In May 2014, WTxRed posted a picture of a gorgeous 2 fabric bargello quilt named West Texas Sunset. It is an incredibly gorgeous quilt. Have a look!
