“The Road Home” is Day 16
“The Road Home” is Day 16 of my 30 art quilt tops in one month project, featuring an improvisationally pieced central block with the suggestion of a house shape in the upper left portion. The green lines offset one another coming from north, south, east and west, but all end up at home. I’m not…
“Shades of Autumn” is Day 15
I’m halfway through! “Shades of Autumn” is Day 15 of my 30 quilt tops in March project. Aren’t these colors wonderful?! I’ve used this technique before, but I had a sudden inspiration as I was getting ready to sew the units together and added the curved interior borders. There’s a lot going on in this…
“Neighbors on the Square” is Day 14
“Neighbors on the Square” is Day 14 of my quilt a day for 30 days project. I went back to an earlier top for the color scheme–the lime green and purple is a lot of fun to work with, but I’m not sure how it would be to actually live with it! I’m enjoying making…
“Endless Marbles” is Day 13
Back to the Marbles theme again, “Endless Marbles” is Day 13. I’m having fun with these curved shapes after several days of more linear designs. Looking at the photo, I may have to rework the borders on the right side so the edges of the top and bottom units don’t fade into the border, but…
“Tides” is Day 12
“Tides” is the top for Day 12. As I feared, I’ve gotten behind on my blog posts since my son has been home from college for spring break, but I’m still getting the tops done. I’ll get caught up soon, I promise! I used some of the leftover units from “Shades of the Ocean” and…
“Rowhouses” is Day 11
“Rowhouses” is the top for Day 11–and I feel like I’ve built the entire neighborhood today! This one wins the prize for longest construction time so far. I began it at 11 AM this morning and just finished at 5 PM this afternoon. Piecing all those small shapes really takes time. This was really an…
“Box of Marbles” is Day 10
My son is home from college for his spring break, so I may not be able to get my blog posts up every single day for the next week or so, but rest assured I’m working on the project every day! “Box of Marbles” is the top for Day 10–I’m a third of the way…
Another New Way to Display Art Quilts
Here’s another new way to display an art quilt–as a cover for a flat screen TV. I can’t take credit for this great idea. My client came up with it and commissioned me to make this piece with a special sleeve to go over his TV when it’s not in use. Why didn’t I think…
