As a result of a recent discussion of bed quilts on the QA list, I decided to post pics of a couple of mine. Both of these are machine pieced and quilted.

Evening Star

The colors in the Evening Star quilt look washed out in this picture but are actually in the medium to dark range.  The next one is made from repro 1930s fabrics.

Memory Chain

This quilt used to be oriented the other way on my old bed but this one has a higher, thicker mattress.  Because  my new sleigh bed has the nice big foot board, I can get away with just turning the quilt sideways.

I make my bed quilts to be used. These are both nearly 10 years old and have been washed many times. I love the cotton batting, it causes quilts to age so gracefully .

This last one is a doll quilt that was published in QUILT Almanac a few years ago. It is straighter than it looks, my photography needs work .

I can’t remember what I called it! Okay, enough playing on the computer for one day, back to cleaning. Fun fun…..NOT!
