Ardis' Kinetic Energy & Marti's Dancing Stars

I love the dimensional look of this quilt. It's all about placement. Blocks floating around one another, and I enhanced it with a design I call fireflower. Filled with spikes and swirls, it gave the quilt even more passion.
Marti made "Dancing Stars" for her son. The fabric she chose for the stars was a varigated rainbow. With one fabric she was able to make many colored stars. Alot of the fabrics had music designs or canine motifs. I chose to do a musical edge to edge pattern. My kids loved it. It makes my heart sing when they come into my studio, see a quilt, and say, "Wow mom, this one is really cool!"
