I call it "Moon Over Mountain", but it's official title is "Winter Solistice" by Valorie Wells of Stitchin Post fame. Jan is one of our WW members, who when she learned that I was a quilter, asked if I'd make her this quilt. She had purchased the kit many years ago with the plan to complete it herself, but the best laid plans...Simple applique design, all done with fusible web. The fun part was the quilting! I did a simple meander in all the backgrounds, then used inspiration from the batik designs in the suns for quilting there. Left the mountains empty so that they would be dimensional. Much thought about how to quilt the border, but finally went with simple piano keys. Then a ray in each corner. Lots of changing thread colors to match, but I think worth the effort.
