2005 Ebb and Flow

I took a class on Ricky Tim's convergence. Unfortunately we had a very poor instructor and she gave me some bad advice on colour placement so my orange/yellow fabrics blended into each other. Instead of continuing with the convergence, I decided to do my own thing.

Made with leftovers from Ebb & Flow.

2005 Blue and Green Shouldn't be Seen

Off set log cabin.

Autumn Sun (modified) from Patchwork and Quilting magazine. This is paperpieced. I decided after doing this that I don't like paper piecing.

2005 Grandma's Flower Garden

I called this Grandma's flower garden because it is backed with my Grandma's old orange bedspread.

2005 Oriental Denim

There is nothing Oriental about this blanket or the fabric but it did end up having an Oriental flavour to it. It is made from synthetic drappery samples (unknown fibre content) that is a fairly sturdy using a quilt-as-you-go technique.

48" x 72"

2005 These Old Jeans.

Blanket made with Rick's old jeans and one pair of green jeans to add some detail. This is a great blanket for going to the park or the beach. And there's Dusty in the picture.
