Tropical Twist
I was asked by a dear friend to make a quilt as a wedding gift for her daughter. She gave me a great deal of leeway. I was asked to make the quilt blue and orange, and she wanted it to have a scrappy look. I sent her a few pictures of quilts, and we decided on this Bonnie Hunter pattern, Tropical Twist, from the January/February 2009 issue of Quiltmaker. I purchased the batiks in five states... Wyoming, California, Wisconsin, Utah and Arizona this summer. I am really pleased with how it turned out. I quilted it freehand.
I found a new place to display finished quilts for photographing -- from our new arbor in the back yard. It worked out great!

Your quilt turned out so beautiful. Love the colors and your quilting looks lovely.
what a beautiful quilt-love it. And love you're new 'display' area. I'm always trying to find a good way to hang a quilt outside to photograph! I never thought to use skirt hangers like that-it might work on my deck!
This will be a treasure for sure. I love the color choices, and what a clever way to hang a quilt for picture.
Your quilt looks gorgeous! The quilting is absolutely awesome, I love it! I was hopping over from Confessions of a fabric addict :)
