Kaleidoscope

I learned about Marti Michell's new ruler for Kaleidoscope blocks at Quilt Market and was thrilled to use it to make one of my all-time favorite blocks with this fascinating fabric. All the "stars" are from this same fabric; some spin and some look like snowflakes!

Half-Square Triangles

This quilt used all my favorite batiks and uses a new technique to make piles of half-square triangles that I learned from Debbie Caffrey at a wonderful show in Nashua, NH

Bargello - 79 x 92

After teaching a Bargello class at the Happy Quilter, I was inspired to design and make this big one. It was juried into the 2007 World Quilt Show in Manchester, NH

Quick Trip - 91 x 104

This is from Eleanor Burn's book Quick Trip Quilts. It is fast and fun to make! I have been longing to find an excuse to use the wonderful fabric with the birds that I put in the border. It provided a rich palette of colors from which to choose the 12 center fabrics.

Bargello Woods - 60 x 68

This Bargello quilt from Marge Edie's book was a treat to make.

Serendipity - 90 x 95

This is a Serendipity quilt based on a Sara Nephew's design. Once you learn her technique you can make your own designs as I have done in the borders.
