Aileyn Ecob 12 x 12 quilt in TCQC 02-02-14

In October 2013 I had so much going on in my life that I didn't post the 12" x 12" quilts I purchased from the Studio Art Quilt Associates online fundraising auction.  This is the first of a series until I have shown all of them. .

 

I know Aileyn from classes at Empty Spools Seminars at Asliomar in Pacific Grove, CA,  She does impeccable hand applique and exacting technical finishing on her quilts.   The background color in this image is more true than in the rest of the pictures - grey, not blue.

 

Just one leaf with a slight shadow.  Don't know why the background is blue in this pix.

 

I like the piping on two sides, this detail is at lower right

 

And a great rocky fabric on the back.   

 I saw this quilt on the auction site and thought how great it was to see an image similar to one I had taken at Bishop Creek in the Eastern Sierra.   I had forgotten that Aileyn had asked me if she could use the photo as inspiration and I didn't realize her source until I read the label - then I remembered.  I think she did a great job and I am especially happy to have it as part of TCQC.
