This is what happens when a bunch of quilting ladies make a quilt...




This is our guild quilt on the barn after Cynthia quilted it and then I did the binding.  It looks so awesome!  We were inspired by Denyse Schmidt's anyway you slice it pattern.  The colours are all those found in our guild colours.  Lots of Kona solids and supplemented with bits from our stashes to make it sing.  There is even a little bit of Cynthia's Kona Modern Quilts fabric.  And wouldn't you know it?  I forgot to take a picture of the back which was equally awesome!  Cynthia quilted it in wavy lines in Aurifil 50wt in orange.  It is fabulous.  And can you see down below how she did some writing in the quilting????  Fraser Valley Modern Quilt Guild British Columbia Canada 2013 runs up one side.

The quilt will be on its way to Portland for the Northwest Guild meet up.  Representing us well, I would say!
