Custom Quilts

Pattern: Lover's Knot

Before jumping into a restoration of the original version of this quilt (see LOVER’S KNOT 1987), I created this new version using an updated edition of Eleanor Burns’ “Quilt in a Day." The newer pattern produced a larger quilt, more like a twin size extra long, or bedspread. The most difficult task was finding fabrics to mimic the 1980's colors in the original quilt. The new colors are not an exact match, but made for a vibrant and modern variation, and has the octagonal shape like its predecessor. The endearing sentiment on the lighter pink fabric, “pick flowers ~ love flowers ~  grow flowers ~ send me flowers” gives this quilt a hint of yesteryear.
