Q80 – Quilt – Coral Steps

Good day,

Our new Quilt, Coral Steps, is finished. Three fabrics; a simple, geometric design; and variegated thread… this is our 81st Quilt.

Coral Steps, our adaptation of a design by Yoshiko Jinzenji, is complete with the dimensions of Width – 66 ½” (168.9 cms) and Length – 87” (221 cms). The coral pink, deep red, and centers of yellow are set in a lacy background of floral white and beige. The khaki tone of the backing provides a juxtaposition between the colors and shades of the top.

The construction of Coral Steps is made up of two size pieces; 759 2” (5.1 cms) by 4” (10.2 cms) rectangles and 46 2” (5.1 cms) by 2” (5.1 cms) squares. This is double the size of Yoshiko Jinzenji’s original design. Our Coral Steps is a smidgen larger than a twin size quilt.

Here are some more images of Coral Steps. Please note that there may be some change in the true colors of the fabric due to my camera, the sunlight and shade, and your browser.

We are currently working on five new quilts. Stay-tuned for She’s Here, NCBB, Colored Windows, Mystery Jelly, and DW’s.

Q79 – Quilt Wall Hanging – Born This Way

Good Day,

Our 80th Quilt has been finished… even though this is labeled Q79. The missing quilt is at home in North Carolina and we haven’t been able to get some photos, as yet. (Hint, hint, SG…)

Q79, Born This Way is a wall hanging.

Born This Way's dimensions are: Width - 31” (78.7 cms) by Length - 45” (114.3 cms) and the top is seven batique cotton fabrics. The batique colors are beige, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

Born This Way is an inspiration and adaptation from the works of fabric artist Yoshiko Jinzenji. The top is constructed of 791 beige and 58 colored rectangles. Each rectangle, including seam allowance is 1 ½” (3.8 cms) by 2 ½” (6.4 cms). And yes, the title of this new wall hanging has credit to a certain Lady G…

Here are some close-up images.

We are currently working on six new quilts. Stay-tuned for She’s Arrived, Coral Steps, NCBB, Colored Windows, Mystery Jelly, and DW’s.
