Design Inspiration:

Inspired by Libby Lehman, Ohio Star block. This quilt was a labor of love and was inspired by the work of Libby Lehman. I wanted to have the quilt be a gradual hot sun that we sometimes see as red when there is smoke in the air from fires in the summers. The red then becomes a brilliant orange and yellow sun that we are blessed to have each day. Because I sketched this out on paper first, I wanted to have the quilting look like I was sketching it out. This explains the thick quilting lines around each main design element of the quilt.
