Celebration -- SAQA Benefit Auction Quilt

I finished my second “fireworks” quilt that measures 12” X 12” and I’m calling it “Celebration.” It will be up for auction with SAQA this fall.
Celebration 12X12

“Yes, they shall sing of the ways of the Lord and joyfully celebrate His mighty acts, for great is the glory of the Lord.” –Amplified Bible

This piece is made from commercial cotton fabrics cut and fused to a cotton background. Heavily quilted with Superior Thread’s Fantastico polyester thread.

The label on the back.

And now I’m making a “Carpenter’s Wheel” quilt block for our PTQ’s challenge.

Your quilt is "Fantastico"! Great interpretation of the theme. The fireworks seem to be part of the background, between the fabric choices and the stitching.

You have proven that it's not a quilt until it's quilted--wonderful use of threads.

Love the variegated thread you chose to quilt with it really adds a spark to your piece.
