"Autumn Glow"
October 2006
20" x 13.5"
$390
Commercial fabric, tulle, machine applique, fused applique, free-motion quilting with rayon thread.

Note: This quilt does not photograph well! I've tried 2 cameras, every white balance setting, and various touchup techniques in Photoshop. The orange sky and peach bands in the foreground are accurate. The trees should be more peach than the yellow shown here, and the hilly patches that now look green-gray are really all shades of tan. I will hopefully be able to post a more accurate representation soon.

This quilt began with the striped fabric I used for the trees. While searching for fabric for another project, I discovered this one in my collection and knew it had to be turned into tree bark.
