I took a small hiatus from Amy's Blogger Quilt Festival, the last time I entered was the Fall of 2015. Then she went to Instagram, which I don't do, so now I'm back.
So this was a fun quilt to make. It uses Kathleen Loomis technique of "fine line piecing". There are three fabrics used here. One is the Robert Kaufman Artisan Batik Model Geoscapes 4, and the other two are the Hoffman 1895 batik fabrics. Yes, those small lines are all pieced into the fabric.
This quilt also won a "blue ribbon" (95 - 97 points) at Vermont Quilt Festival, "Best Graphic Quilt" and "Judges' Award" (Judge Christa Watson). Yes, I'm pretty proud of her.

What an amazing quilt. It is hard from the photo to appreciate all the work that must be in it. I can understand why you are proud of it.
Such an incredible quilt! Glad you're participating in the Festival again!
Wow! Amazing work.
So many tiny pieces! Lovely.
Stunning!
Insane! I love how this looks. I can see why you're so proud of it.
Wow! And this is such a lesson in how colors interact with each other to read as a different color. Thanks for introducing me to the quilts your quilt is based on, too. Really topical and thought provoking.
What an awesome quilt, such a cool idea.
Amazing quilt. When I saw the thumbnail photo I truly thought this was a piece of fabric only. Again an amazing quilt.
Wow! Fabulous quilt!
Positively stunning! Would love to see it up close!
Oh, my goodness!! Lots of little pieces. I would love to see a close up of the quilt.
Thanks for the close-ups! I couldn't wrap my mind around how a single piece of fabric would be entered into the Blogger's Quilt Festival. Your piecing on this is INCREDIBLE!!!
WOW!This is amazing; I can only imagine the work that went into this quilt especially a quilt his large.
Very cool!!!
