OK, you asked for it. I LOVE bragging up Cindy's quilts! :-D

Here's a couple more of Cindy's tops from the last couple of years. The first one is a "mystery quilt" she called "Alhambra Mystery Quilt." She adapted the pattern which was designed by a friend of hers, and it was made using "Alhambra" fabrics designed by Patricia Bravo, Art Gallery Fabrics. The top is 76 x 92 inches, full bed size.

The next is taken from the "Nosegay" pattern by Debby Maddy, Calico Carriage Quilts, and is called "Nosegay in Batiks."

It is 72" square and uses Hoffman Watercolor hand-dyes and Fabric Freedom India fair trade hand-dyes and batiks. Don chose the colors and fabrics for this quilt. We often collaborate on choosing the fabrics for a quilt, but Cindy is the artist that makes them come together.

Finally, the next one is Cindy's rewrite of a design for a Celtic bed throw by Sally Ablett, using beautiful metallic Celtic III fabrics by Fabric Freedom of London and a Maywood double-dyed black fabric. This is a 32.5 x 58" bed footer, and was a very complex construction. It about drove her nuts before she got done with it. :-D
