Fabric Soup - This quilt reflects the majority of my stash. So many colorful fabrics -- a riot of color & pattern -- and the black really sets off the colors.

Batik Canoe - Not Finished - Pictured is my youngest son in front of my unfinished quilt, which was temporarily hanging in the hallway.

Joseph's Coat - I love this pattern!! There are 4 different squares...same pattern. It just shows that this pattern can be infinite in design just like colors are infinite!!! It is my favorite.

The Fish Quilt - Light areas of quilt contain good wishes for the newlyweds.

Rocketman Ralph - In his youth, Ralph actually tried rockets tied to his back on the slopes. Artistic license placed them on his feet. He's been known to helicopter to otherwise unobtainable spots.

Window Rock

Tea Cups - This is a set of four quilts, each measuring 24" x 24". The yellow fabric used as the background in the majority of the blocks and the binding was perfect as it had squiggles, suggesting steam coming up out of the cups. I then hand-painted yellow squiggles on white fabric to use as the other background fabric, to compliment the first fabric.

Cassidy's Quilt - Baby Quilt for niece Cassidy... made from leftovers from bigger project. From book Confetti in the Corners by Atkinson Designs

Jubilation

Confetti Quilt - I just cut foundations and sewed crazy scraps on with a black print for the center block. Used confetti looking fabric for sashing and borders.

Sought-after Neighborhood - Using bright, contemporary fabrics, I constructed a lively & inviting neighborhood.

Matt's 18th Birthday Quilt - This quilt was made for my son Matt on the occasion of his 18th birthday. It is a combination of some new Moda fabrics and a lot of scraps too. It's the first time I've made a quilt using traditional colors, and after doing it, I think I've grown up a bit. I no longer feel that everything has to have purple in it, or is bright, although I do still love purple, and I do still love bright.

Turnings

(Who) Ordered Chaos (?) - This was an experiment is moving from one color to another and then another. And although the each individual block is somewhat chaotic, in the end all blocks were cut to a uniform size of 4-1/2" x 4-1/2" and assembled in an orderly 10 block by 10 block grid.

back of Cassidy's Quilt - Back pieced from pieces left over from larger project.

Autumn Trip Around the World - I had been intending for a long time to make a fall-leaf quilt, and had considered and abandoned a number of other patterns before I found this small (3") paper-pieced leaf pattern on the website small-expressions.com. I used a great variety of fabrics from my own stash and other people's too! I improvised the trip around the world arrangement of the colors as I went along. I originally intended to make a small quilt, but the blocks were fun to make, and I kept going until I had 196 blocks.

Butterfly Tulips - Used 30's fabrics. got tired of putting on tulips so turned them into butterflies and used half the amount. Then emborderied the butterflies. Looks totally different than the pattern.
