Chocolate Lime Quilt

by Ruth Tillman

This quilt was made from wonderful designer cotton fabrics. I designed it in Photoshop by downloading picture files of the fabrics. My inspiration for this quilt is from the Gee’s Bend rooftop quilts. I made it from start to end with my wonderful machine. It is sandwiched with thin comfy cotton batting and soft cotton flannel on the back. I always edge my quilts with satin binding because it feels like a mother’s skin.

I have been quilting since I was around 11 when my grandmother taught me. I made quilts on and off for years but when I was pregnant with my second child I made him my first official child’s quilt. His older brother, then 2, loved it so much I ended up making him one. This is when I developed my signature style of thin cotton batting, solid flannel backs, larger size for long use, and distinctive machine quilting.

Gives me a great idea
by: Mary

This quilt gave me a great idea for using up scraps for my granddaughter's baby quilt. I'm just guesstimating the sizes of strips / blocks to cut and it's turning out pretty. I have a brown block in the center of each block - surrounded by yellow, orange, lime green and a little mini-dot print. Thanks for helping me come up with an idea.
