Welcome to my post for Amy's Creative Side's Blogger's Quilt Festival!
I apologize to my faithful readers for the repeat of this quilt, but I really felt like sharing it in the festival. I first blogged about Peace and Harmony here.
I've always been a fan of the artwork on the Grateful Dead albums and used that as my
inspiration for this quilt. It's kind of tie dye meets pixels in batiks. I
think of it as color harmony in a twist.
This quilt was part of the "Twisting to the 60's with Batiks" blog hop. I quilted thousands of peace signs with free motion quilting on my domestic machine. Variegated cotton thread was used for the top and white polyester thread was on the back. The back fabric was pieced with a peace sign fabric and white on white flowers.

I enjoyed designing and putting this quilt together, mostly because I'm a fan of bright colors. It is a nice bed sized quilt and was worth every moment of creating.
