Red Sky at Morning

 O. K. . . .   I decided to do something totally different from my usual quilting.  Normally, I'm someone who loves exact instructions and detailed patterns, but for Project Quilting 14.2, I decided to use tiny slivers of fabric backed with fusible web to create Red Sky at Morning.   Thank goodness, it's only 14 x 11 because cutting those slivers to cover that small size took forever!

Orb


 

Orb--One orb from Pamela Goecke Dinndorf's "Orbs" quilt featured in Quiltmania, Issue 147

When I opened this issue of the magazine, I loved the "Orbs" quilt and began with the largest orb.  I made an orb to use for this challenge, which gave me an excellent opportunity to try out background colors for my orbs,  review the steps for doing an inset circle, and test possible quilting for the final quilt once I have completed the top.  My submission measures  20 1/4" x 17.5".  

On my design wall are the orbs that I have completed thus far.
