Rainbow Baby

Inspired by this quilt - http://www.believemagic.com/journal/?p=856.  I changed a couple of the colors around and just loopy quilted it.  The backing is some fabric from my stash.  For a baby girl due in July 2012.

Isis

A Quilt for a soon to be 11 year old named Isis in the Wrapped in Hope project with Margaret's Hope Chest. Isis likes pink, soccer and peace signs. I hope she loves her new quilt.

Quilt Festival

Hi and welcome! The quilt pictured is one that I made for the Wrapped in Hope part of Margaret's Hope Chest. Wrapped in Hope donates quilts to children who have a parent in prison. The quilt is sent as a gift from that parent. I chose a girl who was turning 16 and likes purple and lavender. I wanted to make something that she would love forever and thought through a lot of options. I saw these pictures on Two Dogs and a Quilt (http://twodogsandaquilt.blogspot.com/2011/03/infinite-variety.html) and decided to do something in solids and use one of the patterns. I used the design in the bottom picture at the very bottom (the entire quilt isn't even showing). Once finished, I had a long-arm quilter do the quilting since it turned out too big for me to be able to handle.

I forgot to take a picture of the back, but it is an ikat fabric with greens and grays. The binding is gray to work with the back and it also worked well with the purples, etc.

I really enjoyed making the quilt and hope that the recipient loves it.

ps. I found an error in my piecing after putting the top together. Hopefully, it isn't too noticable :)

Thanks to Amy for hosting the Quilt Festival again. I love to see everyone's work.

Purple and Lavender

This quilt is for Wrapped in Hope for Margaret's Hope Chest. Amber from Georgia likes lavender and purple. Since she is turning 16, I wanted a quilt that she would love for ever. I hope this fits the bill.

Blogger's Quilt Festival - London Calling

This quilt was made for a friend currently living in London. We stayed with her for several nights and this was our way of saying thank you. The design is based on the flag of London. I used about 24 different red fabrics to make up the patchwork cross. This picture was taken in London on the patio of its current home. I forgot to get a picture of the back, but it is an Alexander Henry's Fulham Road Mocca in Red.
