One of my students on the weekend told me about the first quilt she had ever made and that it was one of mine so she sent me a photo. Thanks Bev.
It was Opalescence (later called Opal Fire) and it was also the first quilt I designed with my own fabrics. At the time the magazine I first submitted it to said that it was 'too contemporary for their readers'
How times have changed.

"too contemporary" almost sounds like an oxymoron. I bet the magazine has changed their tune now! Alison
Lisa,
Agree entirely with what Alison said above. It's a lovely quilt so bright and cheery and appeals to me very much, one of the things I found when first quilting was the lack of contemporary quilts in the magazines.
The quilt is a beauty. Never mind the commentary from the magazine. Many of them are stuck in the traditional mode. Creativity is much more apparent in work that is unique in design and colour.
