This is my version of Caryl Breyer Fallert's Illusion which won a red ribbon, 2nd place at the 10th Annual Heritage Quilt Show in Whg, WV. I call it "Balancing the Chakras" and I can't wait until I can make another, similar one. It was really fun to make. I love the tight, orderliness of the spectrum, and then breaking it, scattering the light by interweaving two pyramids is exciting, energizing--like balancing the chakras.
I did it! I broke into the traditional local quilt show with "Breathe" this fused piece that won a first place, blue ribbon. I am shocked that this very modern art quilt even placed. Yippee!
Blog readers may remember that I'm not too confident about my machine quilting, but this quilt proves to me that I am improving.
Maybe my friends and I have been spending too much time in hospitals having tests run, but my first response to this quilt is--lung x-ray, followed by monitors, followed by calm breathing and peace amidst fear and pain.

Congratulations on execution of Caryl's pattern and on your original quilt!
Congratulations Cheryl! These are both compelling, but I especially like "Breathe". Jen
Congratulations! What exciting news...maybe you're introducing some other quilters to art quilting!
