I didn't make it to the finish line before winter arrived. By using a time-tested maple leaf block combined with lots of negative space for quilty texture, my autumn quilt Scattered is complete. Now it looks like leaves on fallen snow. Scattered

I consider myself to be a contemporary quilter with traditional roots. I observe traditional quilts, quilt blocks and quilting styles, and then create my own interpretation. Quaint postage stamp quilts inspired me to imagine my own. Pandemic seclusion provided the countless hours required to cut and assemble 9,216 pieces, each finishing at one inch square. Can I call it contemporary traditionalism... ...if I combine bygone design with contemporary fabric and no-border finish... ...and if I add it to the eclectic look of my home? I think I can. Meet my idiosyncratic Postage Stamp.
Let me introduce you to Luca! This sweet puppy came into my daughter's life last month, and I immediately knew I had to make a quilt for him. The fun thing about making this quilt was the haphazard use of cheerful colors and linear placement. My daughter used the word "piecemeal." So fitting. Naptime, Luca.
