As Patricia Belyea created all the quilts for her book, East-Meets-West Quilts, the book continually evolved. Over a three-year period, she made 24 quilts. Seventeen are included in the book. She thought you might enjoy looking at the "rejects" and hearing the stories behind why they didn't make the cut, including the one below that she decided was just plain ugly. Click on See the Quilts to see the other quilts that weren't chosen.

 
 

kumadori

40″ x 40″
This spin-off quilt is made with leftover blocks from Kubuki. Although Kumadori has two innovative finishes—hand-stitching with Prismacolor pencil accents and an exciting curved facing—its overall look is just plain ugly. Sometimes a design doesn’t work out.
