Description |
I wanted a quilt that would not fade so even though Irish Cream appears to be whole cloth, it is pieced, hand appliquéd and hand quilted. Scale changes in straight grid, stipple quilting, cathedral window strips and trapunto give lots of texture. Source of Design: Original Made and Quilted By: Linda Roy |

Description |
This quilt is a tribute to the riches and complexity of African culture and arts. The traditional Dresden Plate block is explored in variations with African fabrics. Cowrie shells, primitive hand-stitched embellishments and digitized embroidery, jungle foliage, thread-painted animals & couched silk yarns expand the theme.

Description |
On his return from a motorcycle trip, my husband, Randy, brought "party favors" for my bee. He brought 10 fat-quarters of 30's reproduction fabrics, which we divided into fat 16th's for a challenge project. I intended to make a Dresden Plate wall quilt, but it insisted in growing into a bed quilt. Source of Design: Original Made and Quilted By: Jane Pitt |

Description |
A love of certain designer fabrics and batiks inspired me to create this colorful quilt. Paper Piecing the arcs was a technique I wanted to try, so I used patterns from the New York Beauties Book. The coordination/placement of fabrics, metallic stitching & beading are my design. Source of Design: New York Beauties-Book for paper pieced pattern Made and Quilted By: Jacquelyn Chiddister |

Our first Round Robin, this quilt illustrates the varied interest of our bee. Hand and machine appliqué in both invisible and raw-edge styles, paper and traditional piecing, this quilt celebrates the facets of our diverse interests and shows that quilts, like good friendships, consist of unique but meaningful pieces.
