    I've been making a fireworks themed quilt for the last 5 years for a quilt challenge for the Art Show for the Pyrotechnics Guild International Convention each August. You can go to the organization's website to view the quilts as well as many photos of fireworks from past conventions. No computer generated pics. here.

    Thanks for posting those! I have yet to see any fireworks that equal Detroit's. Even the ones in NYC never seemed as beautiful and spectacular as Detroit's.

    It would be cool to see them and who knows may be a good idea for making a quilt.
    These are from New York City
    Also, take a look at some of Paula Nadelstern's fabric - she's got some beautful ones captured on fabric.
