Of course with so many stunning quilts, the discussion naturally turned to what else you could do with this concept. Below is a Jelly Roll quilt that my Mom pieced with 40 white on cream 2 1/2" inch strips. Instead of joining the strips on the diagonal as with the original concept, she joined the strip with 2 1/2" brightly coloured solid squares, letting the colours fall where they may, like confetti.
I was so pleased with the blank pallet that this quilt allowed. I asked Linda to quilt it with a very whimsical overall effect, in very bright colours. Isn't it great? Can you find the message in this quilt?
Here is a close-up of the words!
Dream, Believe, Be
I saw these words once on a piece of jewellery and I love the message.
Here is a close-up of some of Linda's incredible, and as requested, whimsical quilting.
