One of the exciting things which can only be viewed in the night sky is a fireworks display. Of the many types and styles, for me, the most beautifully complex are blossoms. The yellow dots in the blossoms of this piece are reminiscent of the color intricacy incorporated in fireworks for visual artistry, while the white lines in the petals provide streamers similar to a meteor’s bright trail and have been quilted in metallic thread for sparkle. The pink leaves are indicative of the boom all fireworks make as they burst into amazing fragility. These leaves are surrounded with echo quilting to evoke the shock wave all explosions create. Embellishments add to the overall visual elegance found during the brief display of all fireworks.
