Fourth installment (only one more to go) of gorgeous quilts from Quilt Festival 2016 in Houston.
The beetle quilt in this post (by Susan Carlson) reminded by of a beetle quilt I made many years ago using techniques from her excellent book!
What will you make inspired by one of these quilts?
Thanks for stopping by!

More wonderful inspiration.Close-up photos of several of the quilts, especially the scarab and the LARGE iguana, make me think of the layers of your gel prints. with such vivid colors and depth of patterns.

These are so amazing…art journaling is my favorite arty thing — these give me so many ideas for incorporating fabric and fabric techniques into journal pages: couching fibers, embroidery stitches, 3d elements, mosaic/pieced style done with paper…..Lately I’ve been having trouble coming up with color palettes — some great ideas here I never considered, like rust/ochre with sky blue; and shades of gray and black with shades of yellow. Wish I could have been there to see all the quilts in person! Thanks as ever for the eye candy and inspiration!!
