Courthouse Steps

17 11 2010

This is another double sided, “quilt-as-you-go” project.  I found a lovely small-scale floral print to use for one side, and selected a variety of green and cream prints for my steps.  The final result is a strong pattern on the front side, and a very soft, easy-on-the-eyes back side. The reversible binding technique I learned from Judy Doenias  at City Quilter.  It makes a neat  knife edge finish.

This quilt was made in a class at The City Quilter.  It is made of strips and small squares in a color set that ranges from dark to light, and repeats a second time.  Its luminous quality is the result of this gradual change in color value.  The bright red batik squares punch right out at you, and support the linear design.





Baby Dots 1

This child’s quilt is perfect for crib, stroller, car, or Grandma’s house.   The colors are bright, the pattern simple, and children can learn their colors by playing on it.  I found a collection of polka dot fabrics in so many colors, I had to make something that used all of them.
