I was just perusing your gallery and saw several interesting quilts. The Framed Nine Patch from 2005 is described as your own design. Is it shown in your book? Or does it not use the sew and slash technique?
ReplyDeleteYour quilts are just lovely! I could sit and look at them all evening. Love your color play and I'm now intrigued to get your patterns! I am just beginning to do charity quilts and was a bit stuck where to start and what size.... I see that there are many needs, many differing recipients...so...just do it! Thanks!
