My wife is into patchworking to the extent that she set up her own patchwork fabric supply business (see link in my bio). Net result is that she now has little time for patchworking... This is the first quilt she has completed for well over a year. See Alt text for my description.

#handcraft #patchwork #Quilting #MadeInScotland #BlythAndBonnie

Patchwork quilt made up of an 11*11 grid of blocks with a windmill motif in colours mainly blues, yellows and mustards, the blocks on a white background with smaller coloured squares to corners. Centre block has a chicken. Tones of the blocks are darker to the edge, lighter to the quilt centre. All finished with a light blue border. Quilted in the ditch on the diagonal, picking up the windmills.

Quilt finish day! This is one of my favorite quilts ever, I think. It's a 5'x5' throw made of shirting fabrics I'd collected. Some came from random fabric sales and others came from a friend who graciously gave me the stash she was too old to use.

Foundation-paper pieced, hand-quilted.

I don't yet have a better name for it than Shirting Pineapple, we'll see. #quilting #quiltsofMastodon #quilt

A pineapple style quilt with alternating diagonals of browns and blues in shirting patterns, mostly stripes and plaids. The middle sections are various white and cream shirtings again with stripes and crosshatching. The center squares and corners for each block are bright red with white cross-hatching. The pineapple effect made up of jagged lines hwich can be seen as forming pineapples but also interlocking circles.
an angled view of the pineapple from closer to the floor. This view highlights the individual fabrics. Some are very densly patterned and some are very light. Each block is broadly symmetrical though cuts may impact the effect.
The quilt is lying on a red coach in a way that really makes a wheel and spoke aspect of it pop out. There's just a corner peaking out of the underside to show that the backing is a pink check.
The quilt is lying, folded, on top of a well-worn pineapple quilt. Its corner is turned back to reveal the pink check on the back. The worn pineapple quilt looks almost like a shadow of the new one.

It was this one -

Funnily enough, the person I first contacted about the donation wasn’t sure they could accept it because of the profanity. But the Center for Women’s History Board ended up loving it so much, they not only accepted it, but built a whole exhibit around protest art by women in #SanDiego

#Quilting

Full view of a pussy hat-themed quilt with columns of stylized blocks resembling a neck and face wearing a pussy hat. The blocks are wonkily pieced from scrappy pinks (the hats) with peach, beige, brown and black fabrics for the body parts. An asymmetric section of the quilt near the bottom center features improv pieced letters instead of pussy hat blocks; it reads "the patriarchy isn't going to fuck itself" in scrappy brown fabrics on a white background.
