Ana's November 9th Quilt

Based on the events of November 8th, 2016, Ana decided to make a quilt to reflect her feelings of everything that was happening. In light of that, I added some "angry quilting" patches to the design. The majority of the thread is a dark gray, with an accent of a bright green thread in certain areas. I love how it turned out!

CVAMQG QuiltCon Charity Quilt!

I am proud to have been a part of the Central Virginia Modern Quilt Guild charity quilt that will be headed to QuiltCon and displayed with other great quilts! There will be a post explaining our design, but the title is "The James: Not to Scale." At first, I thought that I'd quilt all of the blocks with a similar geographic - topography type quilting, but then each of the blocks had their own special design and voice that was speaking to me. In the end, I went with unique designs for each, just how all of our blocks are unique and have their own voice. Here are some closeup pictures of how the individual blocks were quilted.
