Silent Auction Piece

The cat finished her bath, and I finished the binding on the silent auction piece. The colors are fairly true here:
Top by Florence Peyrifitte, quilted by Martha Ginn
Gail Bachorik taught a class for Pine Belt Quilters a couple of years ago, and Florence Peyrifitte used Gail's kit to make this top. Gail drew the pattern from an orchid she had photographed. Florence handed her top off to me as a possible boutique or silent auction contribution if I would quilt it. Since quilting is my favorite part of the process, I was glad to take it.

Below is the piece I made in that class using my own fabrics.

Thanks, Bev. I didn't want mine to look just like everyone else's. Picking out colors is fun and challenging, but my favorite way to approach a piece. Love to do the quilting or thread-painting.
