Aurora Borealis1(Northern LIghts)

Another winter storm last night, three in a row. It certainly is the time for quilting. I have decided to use my brightest colors and put some brights on the winter days. This picture shows the base for my project. It is a gradation fabric called Glacier Park. This fabric is designed by Caryl Bryer Fallert and is sold through Bernatex Fabrics. The five strips that I have framed are quilted in a background pattern with cobblestones. It acts as a good filler. I am using a variegated thread to add more color. The diamonds which are attached on the finished wallhanging, I hand dyed at a workshop this winter. I think they turned out lovely and are a perfect match to go with my background pieces.
