Novelty String Quilt


This string quilt has improv elements (the string piecing), but it's also organized into a grid and the design is symmetrical and balanced. There are lots of retro-style novelty prints sprinkled around in this quilt which makes it fun to explore as you fall asleep under it. See more details on the Etsy listing, but this is the place to see lots of close-up photos.

Amish Pineapple Quilt




I just finished this quilt last night and listed it on Etsy today. This is one of my favorites because it's such a classic quilt. High contrast fabrics are perfect for showing off all the pineapple points.

The blocks have traditional red center squares, but where the blocks intersect, there is a yellow square (on point). See bottom photo. I love that.

Red & Pink Log Cabin Quilt


This quilt was listed on Etsy today. The colors are so delicious! I think it would look stunning in a spotlight or with a lamp nearby. The dark colors in the piano key border seem to glow.

I'm having a give-away on my blog for quilters this week, take a look. The 4 prizes are small vintage glass bowls that have many uses; quilters might want to keep their pins in them.

Today Laurie, Photographer from the Litchfield County Times photographed my quilts and me for an upcoming article. I'll keep you posted. It was so much fun hanging the quilts for the shoot.

Rail Fence Quilt


Two blocks are going in a different direction from the rest. I like the quirky fabric combinations in this quilt. Two pairs of 2.5" strips for each block.
