Another Finished Quilt For 2022 from Quilts + Color

 

This is another one of my time lapse quilts. I think I started it at least 20 years ago.

I enjoyed finishing it. At 26 x 33 inches it is one of the largest of the quilts that used up leftover small pieces of batting. It is also an Olympic quilt that didn't make the deadline.

It is my 10th quilt finish for 2022.

These 3 Quilts Each Received An Olympic Medal from Quilts + Color

 

Each of these quilts earned a medal in my personal Olympic competitions.

The top left is Sunshine And Shadows. The bottom left is Trip Around The World. The right quilt is Boston Commons.

I had a piece of my Shibori fabric and was able to combine it with this large floral I was gifted from an Artist.
I had to add a real ugly piece from my hand dyes, and when used in the borders it was no longer ugly.
I made this as my Olympic project a few years ago.

Olympic Quilts Become Pillows from Quilts + Color

This started out to be a quilt, but I realized it didn't have what it takes to be made into a quilt, but it did make a great Art pillow.

When it was turned into a perfectly stuffed pillow it became a Gold Medalist.

This Art pillow used some unique fabrics I created by dying, pressing and slashing.
