Blogger's Quilt Festival!
I love blog festivals because I get to see so many new blogs, and I also get to meet new readers.
This is the quilt that I have entered into a few shows, but not really shown a full size picture of it by itself. I'm showing it today because I've got a new quilt in mind for competitions that I hope to work out very soon.
This quilt holds a lot of personal meaning to me as it represents my journey back to Ilinois after many years in Maryland. It's BIG by any of my own standards, since I work 12 inches and under. It's a whopping 48 inches square. It's not wonky as it is in the picture, it's just hung badly. ha ha It's also got thousands of beads to represent the windows in the cityscape.
Enjoy the blog tour, and welcome if you are new!

I love these kinds of quilts. The applique and landscape quilt. You did a great job.

Wonderful work! I love such a mosaics which you made as a sky. I'm trying myself art quilts, but your is amazing!
Fabulous quilt! I love the modern feel of this art quilt, and the way you used color to form such contrast! Really, it's stunning!
Fantastic! I wish I was able to make this kind of quilts myself... maybe when I'll be more experienced...

Very nice. I love that you captured a special time.
I really enjoy a quilt like this that tells a story. And the beading. I imagine attaching all those little beads is what took the longest, right? It's a wonderful, wonderful piece.
I really like this one! Can't wait to see what your next show quilt will be! I've only just started doing smaller art quilts and I'm loving it!
I love your undulating road, your stylistic trees and the buildings which can barely stand up. I would love to see a close up of your beaded windows. Great quilt!
Oh, this is gorgeous and so clever. What a great recreation of Chicago's skyline and the beads... wow.
I've been wanting to do a city-scape quilt for a long time. This is such great inspiration! Great quilt.
What a funky cool quilt. Love the graphic nature, your comic book roots are showing. And piecing it all makes it much more interesting than solid sections.

I think that is a quilt that I would love to see in person. It is just beautiful.
I love the colors and the patchwork sky.
Your quilt is really great - I love the rounded shapes and the bright colours making it into a kind of cartoon like landscape. And adding all those beads - that's commitment! Great job :-)

The whimsy of this is so appealing and you must have tons of patience to do all the beading.
