Wall Quilt 44 x 57
Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted, Paper Pieced Quilted by Judy Bachand
One of my California granddaughters asked for a quilt with pink and blue and purple and green. I decided that the back and binding needed to be white - if she doesn't like the front, she can just turn it over!
I first did this pattern many years ago in a workshop with Kathleen Mullendore and have made it in a variety of holiday themes.

Lantern Bloom, by Peg Graney

Light Brown Sugar and Dark Chocolate, by Peg Graney
Wall Quilt 58 x 49
Machine Pieced, Machine Quilted
I wanted to make a value quilt and went stash shopping. I've been collecting browns for a long time. The prints are bold and large and crazy but I didn't mind. The design is a wonky quarter log cabin.

This quilt was inspired by my love of color and batiks. The hand piecing (slow and accurate) of the Lemoyne Star and paper piecing (fast and easy ?) of the curved checkerboard was challenging. I love it when the fabric compliments the pattern.
