Pink Flamingo
(21 x 17 inches)
2001
Detail

This will probably always be one of my favorite quilts. I was inspired by a picture in a book on how to photograph water. The fabric used behind the flamingo, and in the binding, was a green, yellow, and pink plaid fabric. Other areas of a matching green were fused on in the water. The same pink fabric was used for both the pink in the flamingo's head, and in the head's reflection, but heavy stitching when I quilted it altered the color of the head, given it shading and more drama.
