Dahlia's

Strips of fabric becomes...

a Strata. 

 A Strata becomes...

 a series of wedges. The wedges become...

a circular design unit. 

This particular technique will yield two circular design units.

I was inspired by Dahlia's.

A close-up.

As of this writing, I have four more Strata to make then cut the wedges and sew everything back together again. It is a bit tedious but I was so excited to see the results I couldn't wait to get all the strata sewn. I'm really pleased with the results so far. I'll post as the quilts progress. I have a great background picked out for one of the circles if the fabric is still in the quilt shop!

Orange and Green

I made this log cabin quilt (above) for my friend Barb for Christmas last year. 

A few years ago, my quilt friend Carl showed me many quilts he had made using the Radiant Suns Templates by Doodle Press. Being inspired, I bought a set of templates for myself. After completing Barb's quilt, I took the leftover fabric and the templates that had been sitting in a drawer for a couple years and made this quilt. The top was completed sans borders months ago and has just been lying around. 

This quilt top is now finished and waiting to be quilted. Do you see a theme here? You guessed it. I have a lot of quilting to do!

Newest Art Quilt

Reconciliation (working title)

Here is the latest art quilt I've been working on. I finished the top last week. I'm thinking of entering it in Paducah but haven't decided yet. This quilt is also waiting to be quilted.

Blooming Nine Patch

The two halves are complete but not sewn together in the photo above.

The quilt is sewn together, ironed and folded and is now resting on the shelf waiting for me to get it quilted. (The owners are also waiting patiently for me to get it quilted.)
