Brianna’s Wave Border

January 17, 2008 at 1:02 pm (Kaleidescope, Paper piecing)

On the historical record page are several quilts which I have recently been able to rephotograph, or photographed photographs (lousy quality) just so I would have SOME record of these quilts. Brianna’s Wave was made after I made Mom’s Seaside Quilt, and as I was cleaning and straightening and cutting up in January, I found the original Wave pattern - I had to figure out an exact size so the border would fit.

I still have some left, and I am glad because I really loved the Greek-key kind of impressionism of the wave border.  This was paper-pieced:

Round Robin

We did this as a guild project in Germany, with the Rheinland Pfalz Quilt Guild. Each person created their own center block, then the piece was passed to other participants in the Round Robin, each of whom added a border or embellishments. So the center is mine and the outermost setting blocks are mine, as well as the sandwiching and quilting, but friends did the rest.

Naomi’s Baby Quilt

Naomi’s brand new baby needed a very Gulf baby quilt, so I did a camel with a braided tail. The black around the camel has crescent moons in it, a traditionally Islamic motif. Paper piecing has never been my favorite technique, but it is a lot easier when you blow a small pattern up 400%! ;-)
