Anne makes the best art quilts that are so much fun to quilt. She is entering this in the 2021 Kumquat Festival in March. We took 1st place in 2020, and are hoping to repeat. This one is approximately 36 x 60. She will eventually cut an irregular shape, with the quilt itself dripping too.
She has placed the dripping sun over our state - Florida. If you look closely you can see where I have stitched an outline - this is approximately where she will cut the quilt before binding.
She added a face to the sun:
close up of eyes with a flower on the cheek. I quilted in eyelashes.
nose and mouth
She also added many many Florida landmarks. I outlined all of these, as well as quilting more "drips" in the orange/yellow areas
University of Central Florida, and Disneyworld near Orlando
University of Florida (Gators) in Tallahassee, and the Manatees in Homossassa
The Air Force base in Pensacola
The Datona 500 race track, and NASA on the East Coast
A surfer in the ocean
The State Capitol in Tallahassee, and the Florida State University (Seminoles)
a kumquat near Tampa where the Festival is held,
a basket of strawberries for the Strawberry Festival in Lakeland,
and all of the Tampa professional sports teams - Rays, Lightening, and Buccaneers.
I quilted clouds and swirls on wind in the sky
and ripples of water in the ocean
She pieced the back using water and sun images
