What Quilts Are Ready To Bind from Quilts + Color

This quilt is the highest priority to bind when I complete the Olympics.

It will take a lot of time as it not only will need hand finished binding but will need 4 casings for slats to make it hang properly.

I already have a special spot to display it for maximum enjoyment.

My First Quilt Finish of 2022 from Quilts + Color

I started this quilt only a little over 2 years ago.

I did spiral quilting on it which is one of my favorite ways to quilt.

It's a great feeling to have it finished.

Quilts Plus Color Returned To Blogging In 2021 from Quilts + Color

This is the final quilt I completed in 2021.

After 15 months of not blogging I made a post on December 7, 2021.

I have not missed a day as I have a lot of catching up to do.

I started the year with 29 quilts on my list to finish,

12 quilts were finished.

The year ended with 26 quilts to finish.

If you are trying to figure out the mathematics here, don't!

A Quilt I Built With Two Sets of Fabrics from Quilts + Color

Often I just start sewing fabrics together and wait until the quilt tells me what it wants to be.

This was the way I designed this quilt which was finished a while ago, altough it is a time lapse quilt too.

This quilt was created with two groups of 8 hand dyed fabrics each. One group was mottled rainbow fabrics. The other groups was loosely 8 gray toned neutrals.

After sewing the strips together I sliced and diced and this is what happened.

Orange and Green Quilts from Quilts + Color

Recently I shared this quilt on Facebook. It created a lot of interest and my friend Debby wanted to see the other quilt I made with the same fabrics.

I did find the companion quilt and I am sharing it here for Debby, myself and everyone.

I had a system to create both of these at the same time. But I can't for the life of me figure out how I did it. That is the way I work. I do NOT keep track of how I create my ART as I have no desire to repeat what I ...

Double Digits from Quilts + Color

The hand quilting on this miniature quilt is amazing.

I drew the feather design that was hand quilted.

It also uses a variety of black fabrics to add texture and interest.

Ice Dyed Floral Quilt 3 from Quilts + Color

This is the third quilt in the series I made from a gorgeous piece of my ice dyed fabric.
It is also the last as I used all the fabric.
I used unique borders and quilting on this one.

A Favorite Vignette from Quilts + Color

I have a lot of favorites but today this is one of them.

I love to combine art that compliments other pieces.

The two fused glass pieces were purchased over 10 years ago at an art fair. I have used them in many different places in our home.

The red vase was purchased from a medical fund raiser for an artist. I fell in love with it.

I made Glory Aura after I had these pieces. I loved it and was lamenting I had no place to hang it in our house. When I measured this space it was perfect ...
