Bluebell Rainbow: Cosmic Illusion #42:



Salli McQuaid: Bluebell Rainbow, 7”w x 5”h (quilt size), threads and fabrics,
matted and framed (10"x 8"), 2009.


Artist’s Statement
 

Bluebell Rainbow was my first attempt at Carol Doak’s (inventor of paper piecing) method of paper piecing. I adapted just one block from her star series, stretching it to a 7”x 5” format. I also changed the sizes of a piece of fabric or two to get the visual effect I wanted and to make it more original. Many resident and three self-designed embroideries enhance this tiny, bright, and cheerful quilt.
