The greys of the Halifax waterfront seemed the perfect foil for this bit of rainbow madness.
I thought about taking pics of each and every spoke up close...
But there were limits to the attention spans of the toddlers who accompanied me on this mission!
The quilting (as always) shows so well on the back!
Wasn't it nice of the French navy to provide me with this lovely backdrop?

ReplyDeleteI've been following your progress on this quilt. Who doesn't love a rainbow of color but this quilt is beyond a great rainbow of color. It's truly fabulous! The backdrop of the ship is perfect for a photo shoot. When I saw the quilt and ship together I couldn't help but think of navigating and compasses which fit with the galaxy name. It's all just perfect!
