Paradise Garden

Paradise Garden was a commission work. My client specified the subject matter (Bird of Paradise flowers) and size of the quilt (3 feet by 6 feet) and left the rest to me.� Inspired by the vividly colored Bird of Paradise flower, this art quilt is constructed from batiks and commercial cotton fabrics. Machine pieced and quilted from my original design, the quilt highlights the radiant orange and vibrant violet-blue petals against the dark, lush colors of the jungle forest.
