This first quilt is Dinah's Delight. This was a mystery quilt on my website a while back. I'll be sending this pattern off to my publisher in a few days. I just need to re-check piece cutting numbers and yardages and it takes a while because I've got three sizes of the quilt in the pattern. (Gotta tell ya -- numbers are the WORST part of designing -- at least for me!) I got interrupted before I got a close-up photo of the quilting on Dinah but it's just really nice. Joyce did a kind of leafy/viney design in the blocks and they're just really pretty!
Then there's Queenie. I think Joyce really outdid herself on this piece! This is the lap version of my Queen's Court quilt which has been around for a while. I was never happy with the pattern because I didn't have a program that worked very well to do the graphics so I kind of buried the pattern and waited. Now both my computer graphics program and my level of expertise are better so I've redone the pattern and sent it off to my publisher. Finally!
Can you see the quilting? Here are a couple of close-ups.
Here's another one.
I've loved this pattern and the original quilt for a very long time -- but I think I just might have a new favorite! If you've got a minute, please check out Joyce's blog at:
Also, if you've got time, check out Joyce's buddy Roada F. Tripp's blog. It's a hoot!
They both look great!!!!
