From the book "Tentmakers of Cairo"
 

This is a new applique project I started last week...it was fun to do. They are only 14" blocks so I'm thinking about taking them to the copy shop and having one enlarged. I cut them out like a hawiaiin quilt folded into 8ths. the second picture is the next one I'm starting and it has applique shapes in the blank spaces. I saw the tentmakers while at the AQS show in Grand Rapids...really fasinating to watch..(where is spellcheck on this)?????

Really pretty!!

I really like the first one. The patttern is something different and unusual. Colors are delightful.

Beautiful!!!

nicely done

Well thank-you for sharing that, I found an interesting vid cast from Debbie McCaffery on this, wow! http://bonniemccaffery.com/vidcasts/064.html

I saw them also at the Grand Rapids show. They had some pretty amazing quilts!!!

i got to see some of them here in london at the quilts of africa show. they were truly astounding, especially the tree of life motifs. amazing.
