The Art Quilters Unlimited group needed very little encouragement when it came to working loosely on their quilts.
Nancy limited herself to working only with scraps. Some of them were seamed together so she used these to her advantage. Have you ever seen such high energy coconuts?

Sue was inspired by the landscape of Tuscany. She mimiced the colors of her photo and enlarged the trees for emphasis. It’s going to be very striking.
A photo of bright fall leaves inspired Mary Ann. She selected her fabrics wisely and was well on the way to a successful quilt.
Linda was intrigued by this photo of a butterfly, but she had big color plans for it. After cropping the composition, she began searching for the perfect combination.
She wanted to use very bright colors for the butterfly and to alter the background colors in order to create a lot of contrast. These were her auditions early on. Can you say “drama?”
This next photo shows Joyce’s quilt early on. She’ll be depicting a rural scene with fog in the distance.
This is her quilt later in the day, with a tree added. It’s really starting to take shape.
But, wait, did you notice that large bottle of wine in the above picture? That’s what happens on a quilt retreat after a hard day of work! Definitely a fun group.
