The Quilt Show Puzzle: "Mountain Meadow" by Cheryl Arkison

 

Since Cheryl lives close to the mountains, and loves hiking them with her family, she was inspired by the Alpine Meadows region to create her quilt Mountain Meadow. Featuring a sea of green fabrics, Cheryl's quilt replicates a wonderful feat of nature that is only viewed during the right season in the meadows. During that specific season wildflowers bloom across the meadow, But in the mountains those flowers are tiny, so you just get little pops of color sprinkled throughout the green as the sun is playing on it. Cheryl recreates this effect by incorporating colored squares that are improved pieced across the various shades of green fabric representing the meadows.
