“Arches in Orange” by Nancy Hutchison

“Arches in Orange” by Nancy Hutchison for the Focus Through the Prism Friendship Star Challenge.

"Arches in Orange"  was inspired by  a photo taken by by son Josiah Hutchison while camping at Arches National Park. The top arch shading is my favorite; I enjoy free form cutting and piecing curves, but struggled for a cohesive feel with the stars, and to have the quilt the required 20" square.  Although he lives in  Colorado now, the pics he sends make him seem right  beside me, smiling and talking.
