​My Quilts - 2022

Flamingo Ballet
2022

This mandala started at Quilting Mayhem in Snohomish when I walked in the door. There was the flamingo fabric.I slowly looked at all the other fabric in the store because I am not fond of pink, but I just kept coming back to the flamingos. Finally I decided since the flamingos were mirror image it must be time for me to do pink.  49.5"x49.5" SOLD

My Klimpt Quilt

This began as a panel with all the companion fabric. Should be quick and easy I thought. But it is not symmetrical so I decided to cut it so that it looks like she is being seen through a window. Then the problem becomes the size of the mullions needed to avoid distorting the woman. I added extra batt to her face and arms so that they stand out from the rest. It is never easy. 48"x60'

Women Collecting Bush Food

Women Collecting Bush Food started with an Australian fabric that was another symmetrical mirror image. I had recently purchased a new diamond shaped ruler that I wanted to try and this is what happened. I felt the need to break the line between the central hexagon and the busy background and was able to find the huge ricrac to serve that purpose. 42"x42"

What began as a panel became a challenge to find the appropriate border that fit exactly. This required adding the right size inner borders to make the pieced border end up a multiple of four inches vertically and horizontally. The little red square in each block is a three dimensional piece of fabric inserted in the blocks' seams. After much hassle I finally met the challenge. 32”x52"
