Genesis 1:3,4
And God said, " Let there be light", and there was light. God saw that the light was good and
He separated the light from the darkness.

Once again, another great idea from a blogger - hosting a blog quilt show. Clever huh?! I thought I would the use the opportunity to post one of the quilts I made a few years ago, Genesis 1:3,4. It is the last patterned quilt I had made, coming from McCall's magazine. I really haven't done any patterned work for years and years, but I saw this and thought - Gee if the colors were placed better this quilt could really pop. Plus I loved the size. It was a great exercise in value and it was really nice to leave all the design decisions up to someone else. It has a ton of hand quilting in it - all done in - Gasp! - rayon thread. I had no problem hand quilting with the rayon and it really gave it a nice shine. Since it was meant for a wall, I wasn't worried about strength and wear.

Lovely job, It must have been such a challeng to find those fabrics. I've trying to find a set of graduated blues and am having the worst time!
This is a spectacular quilt. Great design, great colors, great fabrics. Truly beautiful.
