A new Mom quilt

Mom: watercolor-like scrap quilt, originally uploaded by Mellicious.

Well, the quilt's not actually new, of course, but the picture is. (I found a bunch more quilt pictures, actually, I just haven't had time to scan them.) Anyway, this appears to be one of her scrap quilt efforts, and I think it's the best of the bunch. It has sort of a watercolor effect that's very nice.

Journal quilts

Two small quilts (approximately 8-1/2 x 11") made of recycled materials by Norma Schlager. From the exhibit "Journal Quilt Project 2006: A Page From My Book" at the 2006 Houston International Quilt Festival.


I knew I'd have trouble with my promise to update daily, and sure enough, I forgot yesterday. I was going to post two pictures and four quilts to make up for it, but I forgot that I'd already posted one of the two pictures. So here are two quilts by Norma Schlager, and the other two are down below.

Finished top

Here's the green quilt top, all done and ready to quilt. I was a little worried that that lime-green inner border would be too much, but I think now that it looks fine. (And I might have made the outer border a little bigger, but I only had half a yard of that Paula Nadelstern marble and I really liked it and wanted to use it. So, 2-1/2" it is.)
