Our Own Quilts
The quilts pictured below were made for our own use or as gifts for family members.
Of course, family quilts get everyone involved: even the webmaster gets his fingers pried off the keyboard from time to time and put to work hand-stitching binding.

This is the end result of the blended nine-patch variation I made for my sister: the quilt on the bed with pillow shams and matching quilted headboard, which is a slipcover for the wooden headboard. |

My sister picked out a quilt pattern she liked because of the shading. The pattern was for a small wall hanging, and her quilt was to be for a king-sized bed. I reworked the blended nine-patch technique to blend light to dark from top to bottom instead of from the center out, and used a solid border. |

The pillow shams for the blended nine-patch variation shown above are made more in keeping with the original wall hanging that inspired the king-sized quilt: fussy-cutting the large-print fabric to produce the blended effect. |
