    Many times my quilts do not look very traditional and so I call this grouping my art quilts.  Most of them are contemporary and include many colors and shapes.  They usually are more labor intensive because of the colors and shapes that I need to put together.

Blazing Poppy

Blazing Poppy Art Quilt  52 X 68"

This art quilt is very interesting.  The bright orange poppies just jump out at you.  Made from a jelly roll strips which are cut into 2.5 inch squares and triangles.  The flower is appliquéd on the top of the quilt and decorative stitching in then used to make the flowers and leaves pop.  The outside border is a batik fabric with browns and yellow.  This could be used as a wall hanging or on the back of a sofa.
