For Gameboard Diamonds, the strongest visual element is contrast: red against black, crisp white against gray, and traditional patchwork arranged with enough movement to feel graphic rather than static. The diamond structure gives the quilt its underlying rhythm, but the small-scale prints keep the surface lively up close. The center of the quilt is built […]

Autumn Runner began with a simple visual idea: let fall color move across the table without relying on pumpkins, leaves, or printed seasonal motifs. The design is built from diamond-shaped blocks arranged across a white quilted field, shifting gradually from dark brown and burgundy into red, orange, gold, yellow, and green. The darker end has […]

Birds in the Woods brings together several design ideas: pictorial embroidery, structured patchwork, visible quilting texture, and a border that gives the whole piece a sense of place. Dark brown geometric sashing moves through the quilt in a strong angular pattern, giving the surface a clear structure. Within that framework, the embroidered bird panels and […]

Redwood is a study in warm, traditional color: deep reds, earthy browns, soft tans, cream, and white, all arranged in a busy field of triangle patchwork. The finished quilt has the energy of a scrappy traditional design, but the repeated triangular shapes give it a stronger graphic structure than a simple fabric collection would have […]

By the Sea gives small glimpses into an underwater world. Instead of arranging the embroidered sea creatures in a formal grid, the quilt lets them drift through the surface, surrounded by curved blue-green shapes that suggest bubbles, currents, and tidepool movement. The embroidered motifs are set into circular frames throughout the quilt. Fish, crab, turtle, […]

Block Party started with the energy of simple squares: small blocks, large blocks, and a color palette that moves between clear aqua, cobalt blue, teal, emerald green, deep purple, and ruby red. The structure is orderly, but the visual effect is lively, with the blocks arranged so the eye keeps moving across the surface rather […]

Some quilt designs reveal their construction immediately. Rainbow in Motion does almost the opposite. The entire composition is built from straight-cut pieces, but the finished surface appears to bend and sweep. Rectangles, narrow strips, and small checkerboard units change direction from block to block, creating paths that seem to curve through the quilt even though […]

Autumn Leaves conveys a very specific visual contrast: bright fall color placed against a dark, leafy ground. The front of the quilt uses a forest green batik print as the backdrop, with rows of diamond shapes moving across the surface in red, orange, amber, yellow, plum, pink, and cream. The effect is more layered than […]

Every Which Way — the name of this quilt came directly from the design. The surface is full of directional movement: blue, green, teal, aqua, and purple triangle units turn across the white background, creating a lively geometric pattern that seems to shift as you look at it. The overall impression is modern, but not […]
