Dick and Jane Winter fabric

This Dick and Jane fabric is the winter scenes from 1998.  I have only seen the summer scene fabric offered on ebay and it is $10-12.95.  

I have 2 yards (unwashed) of this fabric 
 

Background for applique

This is a backing, fusible batting and raw edge batik strips.  They are stitched down with 2-3 rows of straight stitching by machine with rayon embroidery thread.  It is approximately 17" x 21.5".

Medallion style quilt top

quilt top 50" square, ready to be finished with quilting and binding.  All batik fabrics.  The squares and triangles in the design are 2".

Rectangle kits for colorwash

Here are 2 sample selections of one piece each of 120 different fabrics, regular quilting cotton (not batik). Pieces 2.5" x 4.5".  There are 2 kits alike of one of the trays, the rest of the kits are a variation of the other tray (so all kits are not identical).  The kits are intended as starter packages for a group from which you could assemble a colorwash quilt top.  You would need to add additional fabrics from your own stash.
 

Striped colorwash wallhanging

This colorwash wallhanging which has a large variety of fabrics was designed one piece at a time on a design wall.   This piece is 23.75" x 24".  It is quilted and has a traditional binding and a hanging sleeve.

Small Colorwash wallhanging

Finished small wall art 20.75" square, quilted and bound, with hanging sleeve for dowel rod or small curtain rod.

African fabric kits

 I have 3 kits of 90 different African, Bali batik, and animal prints, 2 pc. of each, 180 pc. total.

Confetti mini quilt

This piece is 9.5" x 12" and is created one little piece at a time in a colorwash style.  All of the pieces have loose edges partially held down by the machine quilting.  It is very lightweight and doesn't have a rod pocket or hanger.  I have hung one from a tiny safety pin at the center top edge and a wire brad nail in the wall.

Colorwash quilt top

This is a quilt top only (not a finished quilt).  It is approximately 32" square and has 256 little squares in it.  The gray is the design wall flannel, not a border.  Click on the photo to enlarge.

Bordered Colorwash quilt top

This is a quilt top (not a finished quilt) and it measures 28" x 35" and has 300 little squares to make the colorwash design.  Click on the photo to enlarge it.

Blue and Rosey Red.

This quilt TOP is made with blocks called "Strips that Sizzle" explained in a book by the same name written by Margaret Miller.  First fabric is cut in strips, then sewn in stratas, then cut into blocks. The blocks are then taken to the design wall and played with until the layout is pleasing. This is a quilt TOP ready to quilt and it is 57.5" square.
Here is a closeup of the border fabrics.  The blues lean toward periwinkle and the reds are rosy. 

Pastel Pinwheels

This all batik fabric quilt TOP is 48.5" square.  All of the pinwheels are 3D folded triangles.  The edges could be turned back like cathedral window to make curved edges.
