The design for this quilt is called Walk in the Garden by Ann Visman. I have made it using ten pin bowling fabrics sourced in Australia and overseas. Perfect design for themed fabrics.

I never used to like brown but over the years have seen some really stunning brown colours (all under the blurky banner of brown). There are lots of different shades and colours in this quilt. Not pretty at all, but stunning in its own way.

My husband named this quilt Dazzle as he said it reminded him of Dazzle Camouflage. I had no idea there was such a thing, but apparently in WW1 (and to a lessor extent in WW2), it was used to confuse the enemy and make it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed and heading, rather than to conceal. (thanks to Wikipedia!) There is nothing concealing about this quilt. It is bright and dazzling (like that?) and a perfect masculine quilt. A good size for a twin bed, or as a snuggle quilt.

I am really pleased with the way the colours of this little wall-hanging have worked together to produce a vibrant and colourful piece, with a spiral of black and white asymmetrically across and around the centre. Each little square (or half square triangle) has been individually pieced and trimmed to an exact size, so the flow of the shapes and the quilting works beautifully. I have used some of my most favourite fabrics in this piece. If they (the fabrics) didn't make my senses sing, they went back into the cupboard to be used in something else. Have a look at the close up pictures to see some of the different colours, designs and patterns used. Not really big enough to use as a quilt, it would be perfect as a wall hanging. It has a rod pocked on the back to enable hanging.

I bought a new ruler - I have a ruler problem haha, so had to try it out. This design was originally in red white and blue, but I pulled these pretty teal green and purple fabrics, complemented with grey grunge and a white, and got to work. It is a very effective pattern, and so many possibilities. Its not huge, but would go over a lounge for snuggling under or as a topper for a Queen bed. And, don't you love it when the wind blows so the quilt looks wonky in the pic?

I made this quilt using all different blues from my stash and sourced all over the place, including a star wars pattern, airplanes, flowers, animals and the list goes on. It is quite large and would be perfect for a lounge or a bed.
