Sonoran Sunburst, made and quilted by Kimberly Zody
Kimberly Zody says, "Our gorgeous Tucson [Arizona] sunrise and sunsets were my inspiration for the fabric colors and design of this quilt, made entirely from paper pieced triangles. The techniques and ideas are from Rebecca Bryan's book, "Modern Triangle Quilts." Kimberly quilted this piece herself [at Jean Firestine's studio.]
Kimberly added embellishments to create the sparkle and texture of Sonoran Desert flowers.
