This chameleon is a detail from a group quilt called Fauna made by Frances Alford, Kathy York, Vickie Hallmark, Julie John Upshaw and myself.

My panel was painted with Tsukineko Inks and free motion quilted.

This is stunning. How big is it?

You know I don't have the quilt so I am not sure any more, I think my panel was 10" wide, so that is probably a 10" square.

The colors are georgeous.  The quilting adds a wonderful dimension. I also would love to see the whole quilt. Please post any other work you have done!    It is a joy to see.

JJG, if you click on the word Fauna in the description, it will open a page with a picture of the whole quilt.

When I take your Color Theory will I be able to choose the perfect colors like you?  Beautiful!

Hi jojo,

Perfect is relative and we all have free will, so like a fortune teller, I can not make any guarantees, lol. But, what I can say is, after studiing color theory, you will have the tools to aid you in the decison making process when choosing color. You will also have the ability to mix colors with paint or dyes to have far more successful results. And thank you!

Beautiful!  The quilting makes it look like bumpy frog skin and is so realistic.  I have never touched a frog, so I am not sure of what it feels like, but I can imagine.  Wonderful texture.
