These were scanned into Corel Draw and arranged into a single design. Each bird was digitally painted in a different color or hue, using many different values from light to dark, to create luminosity and depth. The colors of the birds form a color wheel with warm colors on the right side and cool colors on the left. Two sets of colors form the watery background. One set comes from a photo of one of my dye-painted fabrics and the other is a subtle gradation from yellow at the bottom to purple at the top, contrasting with the color flow of the birds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEach individual feather was quilted in a traditional quilter's feather pattern, in contrasting shades. The background was quilted in long looping meander patterns suggesting water. The back is a one-of-a-kind, dye-painted fabric. The digital printing was done by Spoonflower in two sections, which were pieced together to form the 61\" wide quilt top. The matching binding strips were printed at the same time.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfabulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e An exchange of viewpoints or advice for the purpose of finding a solution to a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfab:\u003c\/strong\u003e Consult, confer, discuss, talk, parley, counsel, advise, deliberate, debate\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuilting Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stationary Machine\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechniques:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original Drawing, Dye Painting, Photography, Digital Design, Digital Painting, Digital Printing, \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFabric (Dyeing, Painting), Panel (Commercially Printed), Piecing (Machine), Printing (Photo Transfer), Quilting (Free-Motion), Wholecloth, and Machine Quilting\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61\" x 84\" Inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e AQS QuiltWeek - Paducah 2026; \u003cem\u003e\"A Life in Color: 50 Years of Quilts by \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eCaryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry\"\u003c\/em\u003e Exhibit at the \u003c\/span\u003eNational Quilt Museum in Paducah, Kentucky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e Second Place - Large Quilts - Stationary Machine Quilted (Sponsored by Husqvarna Viking) at AQS QuiltWeek - Paducah 2026\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Caryl Bryer Fallert-Gentry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54214260588819,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/confabulation-caryl-bryer-fallert-gentry.jpg?v=1779917194","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/confabulation-caryl-bryer-fallert-gentry","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
