Back to Spooling Around


Here is a quilt that was not in the Clark County Quilt Show. If it had been, the description would have noted that this is a charm quilt and each spool is made from a different fabric. Seeing it finished and hanging gives a strong sense of a spirit who has lost her way...and a bit of wondering what it would look like if the spool backgrounds were white instead of cream...


For Molly, the quilt fills her with existential dread because she is too old to climb it and knock it down. Molly has renamed the quilt "Kittens Neglected."


And here is Buddy with both play mode and eating mode turned off.

This is one beautiful quilt, Sally--just a gorgeous collection of tiny spool blocks...a testament to your "stick-to-it-tive-ness" for sure...
Hugs, Julierose

The cream is perfect, giving it a timeless quality. It could be from any turn of the centuries.

How did you ensure no fabrics were duplicated?

Absolutely gorgeous! Reminds me of marvelous sunsets, and all the snowcone and cotton candy colors.
