Chihuly Days and Nights - Stephanie Ruyle

Inspiration: This quilt is a celebration of color and shape, conceived after a trip to the Denver Botanic Gardens to see the Dale Chihuly outdoor glass sculpture exhibit in 2014. The richly saturated color palette with striking warm and cool tones sets the backdrop for changing colour-matched free motion quilting. A faced binding allows the composition to take centre stage without a border.
