Recent community quilts (1)

 

‘Electrum’, designed by Ann Siewert, made by Jo-Ann, in a
complimentary modern, graphic palette  of prints. Jo says it
is easier to make than the finished design suggests.

Quilted by Laura, in a contrasting modern design.


Elaine G has used a pretty collection of blossom prints
for this restful quilt.





Daphne’s disappearing nine patch quilt also uses a quiet
palette that will promote rest.



This one isn’t quiet! The top was found in a thrift shop,
perhaps because the outer borders were problematic and
prevented the whole top from sitting flat. Hilary took on
its rehabilitation, removed the borders, adjusted the
measurements by adding and removing pieces, and preserved
the work that originally gone into piecing the top,
and it’s colourful design.

Hilary’s work produced a flat top that Laura quilted with
a graphic straight line edge-to-edge design.

The backing is a batik cotton that Hilary dyed in a workshop
in Indonesia, that has been waiting for a quilt.
