Rainbow Twist Auction Quilt

Original Design - September/October 2010

This quilt was created for an auction. Originally, it was going to be the backing for another quilt, but I liked it so much that I decided to make it a top.

The simplicity of the quilt is striking and the colors are more vibrant than they appear in the pictures. I would love to find out more about how to photograph quilts to their best advantage.

I quilted each lengthwise strip, with a decreasing labyrinth in the color of the strip. And on the strips across the width I did diamonds between the colors. With a skinny strip of minky for the binding. I am really happy with how it turned out.

Plus, I heard it was a rather hot item at the auction. Yay!

Jenny's Grad

This quilt was designed for a close family friend upon her graduation from college. It was a real race to get it done in time. Originally, we were not planning on making it to the actually graduation so I planned on finishing up the quilt and mailing it to her when done. However, at the last minute, we decided to go and I wound up finishing the quilt in 24 hours. I tied the last knot in the binding as we pulled into the driveway. It was great seeing her and her family who all adored the quilt. The quilting is in the ditch with echo quilting done on the main colored squares. The top and binding fabrics were from Jo-ann's, while the backing was found at Wal-mart. The entire quilt is made of flannel, so its an extremely nice lap quilt.
