Quilts in progress

Like most artists I am most enthusiastic about the projects I have in progress.

In the last few years I have noticed the beauty of the "Chartreuse Burst" of Spring. I wanted to design a quilt to capture this amazing sight. This quilt will be made of two repeats of twelve star block designs. Borders and slashing to be determined...

My daughter's favorite Artist is Piet Mondrian. This quilt inspired by his work will have 5", 11", and 17" squares. They will have 1" slashing in black and a black border. A few 5" and 11" blocks are displayed here.

I'm constantly in need of baby quilts. Three are needed this Spring! I came up with this design so five baby quilts and matching pillows could be cut out at one time. I spread 2 yards of 5 coordinating fabrics face up one on top of the other, then laid the pattern on top and cut out 5 at once. The five fabric rays will rotate once around for each quilt. These will be backed with Minkee, machine quilted and bordered with gold 1 1/4" charmeuse satin.
