MY JOURNEY: QUILT # 22

  Another quilt from the Special Exhibit My Joyful Journey, part of the Virtual Quilt Festival, December 3-5, 2020.

QUILT # 22: Rajah Revisited: 67" x 67". machine pieced, longarm quilted, 2017  Quilted by Deanna Plotts 

The Story: This quilt was the 2016 Block of the Month quilt for The Quilt Show.com  It replicates a very large quilt made on a slave ship that sailed from England to Australia in the 1840's. I used a reproduction panel for the center to replace the pattern's center. It was fun to use my substantial collection of reproduction fabrics for this quilt.

Let's quilt.

MY JOURNEY: QUILT # 21

  Another quilt from the Special Exhibit My Joyful Journey, part of the Virtual Quilt Festival, December 3-5, 2020.

QUILT # 21: Stars in a Time Warp  90" x 90". Orignal design, machine pieced, longarm quilted, 2016 Quilted by Magnolia Longarm Quilting: 

The  Story: The blocks were a 2015 block of the week project from Barbara Brackman. Over 50 weeks she presented a fabric style or color and explained the history of that design. I  made 2 blocks a week. When trying to decide how to assemble 100 blocks, I remembered I had this John Hewson reproduction panel that would do nicely. He was a fabric printer from Colonial Philadelphia, my hometown. Since by now I am known for making Medallion style quilts, it made the perfect center. All the rest of the borders I designed as the quilt grew. It was included in the Special Exhibit "In The American Tradition", Houston, 2017. 

Let's quilt.
