It is an original design, utilizing traditional feathered star blocks and whimsically designed applique. The quilting utilizes a number of creative fills including pebbling, feathering, parallel lines, curved cross-hatching, and others. It combines structured feather forms with more free-form background fillers. The quilted vine-work placed in the gray setting triangles has been outline painted with a gold acrylic paint. Some of the photos were taken prior to painting. The quilt has a piped binding that varies in color every 6-8″. I used one layer of Hobbs polydown batting with a layer of Tuscany wool on the top of that. The thread used on topside is predominantly Filtec's Glide 40wt polyester. The bobbin is Superior Bottomline. The quilting is dense, and took approximately 125 hours. Within a month of completing, this quilt has taken two Best of Show awards. This quilt was sold in 2020.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDetail Photos from Margaret's website, mainelyquiltsoflove.com.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaret Solomon Gunn \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eQuilter:\u003c\/strong\u003e Margaret Solomon Gunn \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eYear Made:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eOwned By:\u003c\/strong\u003e NA \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 104 x 104 inches \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShows \u0026amp; Museums:\u003c\/strong\u003e AQS Lancaster 2013 and Many More \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAwards:\u003c\/strong\u003e First Place - Bed Quilts, Machine Quilted at AQS Lancaster 2013 \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Margaret Solomon Gunn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54046542266643,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0918\/4575\/5155\/files\/26833-rainbow-nouveau-margaret-solomon-gunn-14-1619564868_43b2df75-de4d-48f1-afb0-37713334c59e.jpg?v=1776145594","url":"https:\/\/gallery.thequiltshow.com\/products\/rainbow-nouveau-margaret-solomon-gunn","provider":"The Quilt Show Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
