Late July Quilts

Sharon's Elements quilt: Water, Earth, Wind and Fire. This was a detailed custom job--each of the six borders had a different design to compliment the different elements in the quilt. This was part of a round robin in the quilt guild last year, and was my favorite of all the completed quilts.


I love the "Fire" element with the sun rising over the pyramid. Yeah, when I think of pyramids, I think of very hot deserts!



The Birds in the Air



The Mountains


The Kites










The Water droplets and waves



Marilynn's Butterflies Quilt was made for a friend to celebrate a life milestone. (Pictured with the quilt is Marilynn, herself!) Originally I was going to create a butterfly motif to cover the entire quilt, but the quilt told me that it wasn't interested in that...it wanted a zig-zag pattern, like the Flight of the Butterflies.



The brown border does have a continuous butterfly pattern that I created.


Keep on Quilting!
