Snails Trail Quilts
Around this time I was buying most of my fabric in fat quarter sizes. When Anne and I made the gift quilt it was a pattern meant specifically for fat quarters. I then became a little obsessed with creating other block patterns that would best utilize fat quarters. The Snail’s Trail block was the next one I worked on and I made several quilts in this pattern. Some full size and some baby quilts. These are the ones I finished in 2007.
Other Quilts
December – I started this red and black string quilt in the summer at “Craft Week” with my friends at the river. I got 4 blocks done and Anne claimed it. I finished it for her for Christmas. It’s quilted with a panto called plume.
September – Anti-Watercolor quilt. A few years before making this I cut up thousands of 2″ squares with the intention of making watercolor quilts. I did one small sample and realized that I hated the technique. I took the squares and divided then into light and dark to make this simple quilt. I quilted it will all-over feathers. I used this in the guest house for a while but eventually gave it to my sister-in-law, Carol Ottaway.
