A few of my own
Photo Gallery
Ok, gang, got a cup of coffee ready? I'll try to give you a picture and a description of each quilt, plus the year and a little pertinent (and unpertinent) info. All of this is copyrighted, and I can get really cranky if I find anyone selling or misusing my designs (and so can my attorney).
#100. More Loose Change — Christmas Bonus
2009
In the book released in November 2010. Completely made from 5" squares. The pink background was a challenge — Claudia wanted just the right shade of pale pink nickels, so a lot of the nickels were used wrong-side up. There are two sides to every fabric, ya know. Le Ann did an excellent machine quilting design, as usual.
#101. More Loose Change — Down the Drain
2009
Wonderful water-print blues. A Snail's Trail block made with nickel squares. This quilt was Miss January in Martingale's 2012 patchwork calendar.
#102. More Loose Change — Easy Money
2009
A great project for fussy cuts or photo squares.
#103. More Loose Change — Fortune Cookie
2009
The workshop quilt. Super easy, yet it doesn't look like it. The shadowing technique frames each block, and blocks are assembled two at a time.
#104. More Loose Change — Golden Goose
2009
Nice big blocks, and a no-waste Flying Geese pattern. Try it with a cream background and scrappy geese.
#105. More Loose Change — Liquid Assets
2009
So much fun to shop for fabrics that look like water. The borders are made from fat quarters (hard to believe). Fussy-cut fish circles sit on easy hourglass blocks.
#106. More Loose Change — Pumpernickel
2009
The scrappier, the better. Set on a black background with optional applique tulips on the setting triangles. The same pattern also comes in white, and in a baby size with prairie points.
#107. More Loose Change — Twirling Dimes
2009
Bright is the favorite scheme. Each block has a light, medium, and dark value. Try it on a cream background, scrappy too.
#108. Row-By-Row Calendar Quilt
2010
The finished top from the free block-of-the-month. January snowflakes, February valentines, shamrocks in March, April Easter lilies, May flowers, June Father's Day bow ties, July fireworks, hot August sidewalks, apples for the teacher in September, chocolate kisses in October, November autumn leaves, and December poinsettias.
