This is a quilt - a traditional pattern called "Mango Tango". I did it all in bright batiks and the real fun was selecting a different quilting pattern for each fabric. I believe I had about 10 different fabrics. A couple of them got the ripply water design, but the rest were all different. All my quilting is free motion, done on a domestic machine, no stitch regulator. Call me weird, but I actually prefer it that way!
I'm not the most adventuresome traveler, so after coming home from Bermuda, I wanted to do this quilt to portray all the bright colors we saw there. I added the blue for water and green for land - to "calm it down". Hence the name of the quilt.
i love your traditional art quilt!!!
