Blue Ridge Sunrise


As a brand new member, this is my first challenge. It's just 4x6, but it's my first experience using sheers, and I'm also just learning to quilt by machine. I was inspired by two things that have always fascinated me -- the delicate coloring of an early morning sky, and the magical Blue Ridge Mountains in NC, where my parents used to live. I used layers of organza to try to capture the look of the mountains. /Jill Williams

I love the soft colours and the feeling of viewing the hills as they recede into the distance. Very nice!

You have definitely captured the Blue Ridge Mts. Before I even read your info they're what I immediately thought of. Beautiful.
