Sale!This quilt has taken several years to make and was my "in between" project. There are many different dark and light fabrics, often with interesting little things on them, like baseball bats. Have a look at the pictures to see what interesting things you might see. This quilt would work as a snuggle quilt, or a double bed topper.

Sale!I made this little quilt the other week after fighting with a complicated design which nearly did my head in . I needed something simple, small and modern. This pattern was perfect, and is by Kitchen Table Quilting, called The Sadie Quilt. Crisp clear non muddy fabrics, with a modern dotty background, which has a hint of blue in it, finished with the tag/label fabric on the back, it makes me happy. Perfect as a lap quilt (for a small person), a table decoration or as a gift for a new baby. If you want to hang it, it will need a rod pocket.

Evangeline - I looked up the meaning of this baby name and it means "good news, bringer of good news". People with this name tend to be orderly, a bit like the crosses in this quilt. (Thanks Kate for the quilt name :)). The crosses are described as modern vintage, I used modern fabrics, making them into traditional blocks of crosses and hourglasses. The fabrics are from my stash of pinks, watermelons, salmons and deep berry colours. Perfect size for a single bed, or as a topper for a larger bed. You could also hang it on the wall, though it will need a rod pocket.

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.
