Louise Naples Quiltmaker

I made this quilt Called “Imperial Diamonds” for my sister Rita and her spouse, Christine.  The design is by Jean Nolte, editor of Love of Quilting Magazine.  It is loaded with different batik squares, all different.  The wide borders are of a really intensely colorful batik, which draws all the colors of the smaller squares.  The center  was long-arm quilted by Melanie Vaughn of City Quilter, and I did the outer parts.  I can’t manage a king-sized quilt on my home machine very well.

Detail of batik squares and quilting

Two inch and four inch squares on point.

The rows are joined by deep purple sashing

Dramatic border drapes nicely over bed

Precision counts, the corners resolved perfectly

The corners work well

Double-scaled squares relate very well

Reverse – gold-toneed batik swirls

Happy Colors !!
