My daughter commissioned a wall hanging quilt for her living room in California. I decided on a drunkards path pattern, in muted pinks, blues, tans, reds, containing lots of birds and flowers, and a splash or two of black. I added a doily crocheted by her great grandmother, as the “moon”, an homage to the lady who taught my daughter how to crochet. The room where this quilt hangs has a glass wall looking out over a magnificent native garden which host birds of all sorts.

Canoe Island Flying Geese
6 05 2010This pictorial quilt grew out of a jelly roll (2 – 1/2 inch strips) and matching five-inch charms. The pattern idea came from a Nancy’s Notions catalog. The blend of earth tones, and nature theme are all harmony. The black is a luscious print that coordinates with the top.

Baby Dots 1
6 05 2010This 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.

Pinwheel Set
9 04 2010This pair of ornamental quilts is a study in dimension. The high contrast colors of red, black and cream make pinwheels with lots of motion. Hang one on a wall and place its mate on a table to bring drama to the dining room.

Tumbling Blocks
9 04 2010This is a fun, bright colored quilt to perk up any bedroom. I used yellow, green and red to dominate the design. Watching for the “light source direction” in the placement of the blocks creates the illusion of a stack of a child’s building blocks.

Baby Jewel
6 04 2010This sweet quilt was a gift for a baby girl. Its stair-step pattern staggers the soft pinks and greens on a diagonal in alternating colors. Stitching around the border creats the illusion of a pieced border.

Baby Rattles
5 04 2010This is an example of a one block quilt. I used a collection of 1930’s reproduction prints in an assortment of colors and patterns to create a baby quilt that is all softness. I took all my clues from the curved shape of the pieces.
