I'm pretty sure this is the photo they used but I don't have a copy of the magazine yet. Two people have sent me photos of the page in the magazine. The back story on this quilt: I made the quilt top in 2007. In 2010 Julie Sefton contacted me and wondered if it was for sale. We agreed on a price and I sent it to her. She had it quilted beautifully by Chris Ballard. In March this year I was contacted by Joen Wolfrom to see if she could use a photo of it in an article she was writing for "The Quilt Life", the magazine created by Ricky Tims and Alex Anderson and published by Meredith Schroeder (AQS). I contacted Julie and asked if she could take some photos since the only one I had was before it was quilted. Her husband Larry has quite a set up for taking photos so he was up for the task. They sent me copies of all of the photos that they submitted.
Here is a photo of the page in the magazine that Julie took with her phone so I could see it.
If you don't know who Joen Wolfrom is, she is the ultimate expert on color and design and using it in quilts. I have used her books in my classes many times as a reference for use of color, value, etc.
I have most of Joen's books and actually met her many years ago at our quilt guild. One of my books (Landscapes & Illusions 1990) is autographed.
Joen's newest book was released this year. I'll do a review of the new book tomorrow so this post won't get too long.

Congratulations! What a beautiful quilt!
What a nice way to see a quilt!!! IN print!!!!
congrats on being published yet again. Of course your use of color and design in this quilt is excellent.
Congratulations to both you and Julie! This truly is a beauty.
Congratulations. What a gorgeous quilt. I have two of Joen Wolfrom's books and her Color Tool. I was lucky at a quilt festival and met her when she was alone in her booth, she was very "simpatica" and helpful.
Was this quilt inspired by a book or is it all original Color Play of your own?
Breathtakingly, goose bump producing, beautiful! Love it!
Well deserved kudos to you. Letting us view your thinking process is very helpful. I have found that I am bolder with my choice of colors since I began following your blog.
How appropriate that your quilt should be in a quilt on color and design - you are a master on the subject! Congrats Wanda!
Congratulations!
Maybe you could write your own book!

What a beautiful quilt. Congratulations in getting it published and in such an important article too.
AWESOME!
Congratulations! I's beautiful!
What a stunningly beautiful quilt; it truly deserves attention in a book or magazine! I also love the Neapolitan quilt from yesterday's post (and its apt name!).
I really needed to see something that beautiful today. It brought tears to my eyes. Recovering from a bad spate of migraines and the infusion chemicals they gave me to break it. Hope the magazine is still available so I can buy one. Can't wait for the book review.
Congratulations Wanda your quilt is beautiful. Glad you brought the new book from Joen to my attention, I also have her books and you have now whetted my appetite with your shot of the cover.
Congratulations, Wanda. So nice to have your talents recognized. And I wouldn't have known Joen by name but I do have one of her books too - great resource.
congratulations - so very nice to be in a magazine!!
