This quilt was made for my niece.. Her favorite colors are black and silver. As you can see, there is plenty of both in this quilt. The name of the quilt is "Sunset Over Lake Michigan". That's what it said it wanted to be named, so that's what I named it. I wanted to simulate the sun off of the water, which is what the orange is for. It didn't work the way I wanted it to, and now I wish I hadn't used it. Oh well, the orange can always be dyed or painted over. The size of the quilt was very daunting, since it is almost queen sized. Up to this point the largest quilt I had made was a lap quilt, which isn't even as big as a twin. I'm going to learn to hand quilt just so I don't have to wrestle a big quilt through my sewing machine ever again!
