Quilt for a Cousin

Hi,

 Here is another quilt I have made. The quilt was for my younger cousin who enjoys music and robotics. I chose to use bright vibrant colors with dark colors for contrast. The neon star center blocks were my jumping off point for fabric choices.  The block is a quarter log cabin set on-point. The backing is my favorite fleece, but this time using a combination of three colors of fleece. I embroidered a label that included my cousins name and the year is was made. The quilt was finished for Christmas.

Thanks, Jess

Quilt for a Fishing Boy

Hi,

 The quilt and pillow pictured below was made for a boy who has had a hard life. The one thing he enjoys is fishing. The quilt was created around this joy. My mom met this boy and wanted  me to make a quilt. We found the fish fabric and then started to pull other fabrics from my statch. The fabrics included a variety of camouflage and some recycle men's plaid shirts. The backing was two pieces of anti-pill fleece by go to batting and backing. My mom wanted to quilt to have a rounded circular pattern. She really liked the storm at sea pattern so I modified it to work with the fabrics I had. Because I had leftover blocks and backing fabric, I decided to make a matching pillow.  I named the quilt  "Fishing Holes".
