Traditional Blankets

Full size bed quilts using a more traditional block building approach

Rose's Log Cabin

This is the first quilt I ever made.  Rose was my wife's Great Aunt, who passed at age 101.  She was a dressmaker who held on to dozens of totes of vintage fabric and lace.  This was made entirely of her collected fabrics.

Mom and Dad's Log Cabin

My mom used to make clothes for my four older sisters when they were kids.  One winter my dad took her scraps and cut and pieced dozens of two pattern square blocks.  Then they sat in a box in their attic.  For 40+ years!  I completed their assembly and added sashing between the blocks.

White Crosses

I saw a similar pattern on a handbag with six small red crosses on it.  I took a picture and calculated out the pattern to expand it into a blanket.  I used several different whites and tans, while the colors were mostly donated from people who knew I had started quilting.

Stacey's Quilt

This time a commission for one of my sisters, whose request was something king size, so of course I made it out of 3/4" and 1 1/2" finished bits of fabric.

Opens to 121" x 121" -ish.
