Welcome to my stop in the Show your Stripes blog hop hosted by Carla of Creatin’ in the Sticks. Today is the first day. Please visit everyone that is showing a project today. Links at the end of this post.
I made this quilt top in March of 2019 for an Island Batik Ambassador challenge. It uses red, orange, turquoise and blue from the Island Batik collection Soul Song and a number of Island Batik foundations. The quilt design is a modern interpretation of the log cabin block.
For the bottom of the blue section, I quilted parallel wavy lines. Calm seas. Light blue variegated thread – Aurifil 50wt.
For the top of the blue section, I added a few swrils. The seas are generally calm but with occasional turbulence. Darker blue thread – Aurifil 50 wt.
For the red section, I tried to quilt a “sunrise” but it does not show because the red and white stripes are too dominant. Red thread in the dark red sections, and orange thread in the lighter red/orange section. Both are Aurifil 50 wt.
We had a rough week in Texas. Winter storm, unusually low temperatures, no power, water and internet for over two days. My hearts on point quilt and part 2 of the tutorial are delayed. There were some lovely comments on part 1 of the tutorial, and I am sorry I was not able to respond last week. I will try to catch up with all my emails and comments in the next couple of days. I am also attending the virtual QuiltCon Together this weekend. The wonderful quilts and lectures are keeping me busy.

I love it. Stunning is an understatement.
Wow, gorgeous! I’m so sorry for all you’ve been going through in Texas!
What lovely colors! And great quilting, such a fun quilt.
I always love seeing a fabric interpretation of a real scene. The stripes are a fun idea for a memory of a beautiful sunset. The quilting is terrific.

This is just amazing. I love the fabrics, the quilting, the whole quilt!
How gorgeous! The back is as awesome as the front. It truly reminds one of Bali.

What a lovely quilt. Your quilt stitching is marvelous! Hope that things are looking better for you in Texas. We lived through a derecho in August and had no electricity for 12 DAYS! It was a tough lesson but we talked about how much worse it could be if it had been winter. Thinking of you all and holding you in my heart.
