Techniques: Mosaic Picture Piecing using a pixilated picture as a photomap. Heavily quilted.

Just for fun, I experimented with the back. Using the quilting designs as a guide I colored it in with colored pencils. It was a precursor to the “Looking Back” quilt which followed.

Gary, my husband planted many California poppies under the church sign. I decided they deserved a quilt.

All wall quilts have a sleeve attached to the top back. This is used to insert a slat, dowel, or curtain rod for ease of hanging.

Sunny Girls
90”x 70”
I received an email with a wonderful picture of my sister’s twin grandchildren. How cute! – I kept coming back to it and wondering would there be a way to make it into a quilt??? Several months passed before my new piecing idea and my confidence grew to a point that I was ready to try it. It’s still a favorite–I have used it on my business cards. I have found that though people don’t remember me— they remember this quilt!
