I've been a quilter for about 6 years, starting out making bed-sized quilts and lap quilts (4 by 6 feet). I've been making smaller art quilts for a few years now. Here are a few:
These are known as postage stamp quilts and are only 4 by 6 inches in size. They are complete quilts, with backing, batting, and binding, and there are 5 quilts in this series. These and the set below were inspired by a class I took with David Walker at the 2002 Road To California Quilt Festival in Ontario, CA. Road to California, or "Road" as it's known to quilters, is the largest quilt show in Southern California, and is held in January every year at the Ontario Convention Center.
These postage stamp quilts are 6 X 8 inches in size and like the smaller ones above, are complete quilts. There are 7 quilts in this series. Making these very small quilts allows me to try out different design ideas quickly (it took less than an hour to make these) without having to invest a lot of time or fabric.
"Dream Quilt" -- this is a quilt I saw in a dream and made as a creative project for my "Dreams, Myths, and Visions" class as part of my graduate work in Mythological Studies. I have no idea what it means even though I wrote a 10 page paper on it. If you have any ideas, feel free to drop me a line.
A 4 X 6 foot lap quilt that I made for my niece Cathe. It's made up of batik fabrics and multicolored threads. The squares were paper pieced as 12 X 12 inch squares and then cut into four smaller squares, then rearranged. When I quilted this piece, I used free-motion machine quilting which allowed me to "handwrite" words all over the quilt. There are a total of 20 words and one ST:TNG phrase, "Make it so!" (because my niece is a big NextGen fan).
