Q23 – Quilt – Trip Around The World

Early Morning,

This next quilt is patterned for a very reliable pattern "Trip Around The World". The earliest time frame I can find as to the origins of this pattern dates to the Civil War through the 1890s. All-things-being-equal this pattern could have been around from much earlier times. The pattern is a repetition of equal sized squares. The fabrics chosen for this quilt include a blend of floral prints in a gradation of shades. Our quilt dimensions were that of one that would provide an accent to either a full or queen size bed.

We donated this quilt, one of our first efforts, to the National Foundation For Women Legislators, for an event at their Annual Conference a few years back. It was graciously received, by Florida House Representative Faye B. Culp.

Q22 – Quilt – White River Rafting

Today’s first quilt is an original design of a variation on bargello techniques, a blending of colors and quilting, obviously, that lends to the effect of a river, of sorts. (That is, in my mind’s eye…) Hence we named it White River Rafting, but there’s nary a raft.

Dimensions: Length - 66" (168 cms); Width – 49" (125 cms). This is wall quilt, and based on your druthers, it could be hung in any direction.

Q21 – Quilt – Christmas Day

Morning,

Today's quilt is the last of our Christmas quilts made for this year. We call it Christmas Day. The two incorporated techniques of strip-quilting and scrap work remind me of the morning of Christmas day after the presents all around the tree have been opened. This is a very thick and warm quilt as we made it with four layers instead of a norm of three. That is, the top, a layer of muslin, the batting, and the backing. The strips of Christmas scrap work, fabric, are first sewn to the muslin layer. It is then placed together with the backing and the batting to form the quilt sandwich.

Dimensions: Length - 90 ½" (230 cms); Width – 55 ½" (141 cms). This is most definitely a holiday accent quilt, but it will guarantee to keep you warm.
