Bloggers Quilt Festival : Art Quilt : Wisconsin Gas Building

 I have decided to enter my Wisconsin Gas Building Four-in-Art Quilt into the Art Quilt Category for The Blogger's Quilt Festival.

 This little quilt measures just 12"x12".  I used an Andy Warhol inspired palette to interpret the various colors that the flame on the top of the building change to.

The colors of the flame represent the weather forecast:
When the flame is red, its warm weather ahead
When the flame is gold, watch out for cold
When the flame is blue, there's no change in view
When there's a flickering flame, expect snow or rain

 The pieces are raw edge applique with a net overlay to keep them all in place.

 Dense matchstick quilting helps hold it all together and add the texture to the quilt.

 Here  is a picture of the actual building in downtown Milwaukee - notice the flame is blue!

 And here is the art work by Liz Carver that I used to base my design off of.

You can enter quilts through October 31.  Go check them all out at Amy's Creative Side.
