This quilt is for my little boy. It is time to replace the one we gave him when he left the crib and moved into a big bed, the one with cars and trucks on it.
It is going to be in the room with this painting, which is my adaptation of an illustration from a Russian fairy tale, "The Firebird."
The quilt makes me happy the way this beautiful painting by Wendyll Brown makes me happy, every day when I look at it.
And the quilt has something to say to these abstract pieces of mine, which are full of the exuberance of vibrant color.
Now, if I can just find Minky in Europe, to back the quilt. My son requested it specially!

I love love love the colors! I have been away from blogging for a long while and it's so nice to see that you've posted some in my absence. I'm looking forward to reading, and catching up!

Love it--on a side note I think you can find minky on fabric.com and they'll ship to Europe. I send them an email and usually have a reply within 24hrs (requesting shipment to England.) ♥
Thanks, Nathalie! That's very helpful! Beth
Francesca, I want to see what you are working on. Amanda! I went to see your beautiful blog. I'm running out of blogging steam. Are you? I felt like I said what I set out to say and teach in the first year! love, Beth
Hi, I've just found your blog -it's lovely. Enjoying reading back through the posts.
Hi Beth, it's been a while since I dropped by. I love the vibrance and colors in these pictures. If there is a color of minky that you are looking for specifically let me know and I can send you some or some sample slips to chose from. Take care.
