2013 was another year with lots of favorites. I shipped quilts to NC again that spring to share a gallery show with 2 other artists. I finished this Kaffe Fassett fabric Strips 'n Curves wallhanging and it sold during the show.
Another piece finished for that show is this second bright colorwash. This was the first colorwash that I quilted in the ditch in both directions with a fine thread. I liked it so well that I quilt most of them that way now.
This warm/cool contrast zig zag is another of my most pinned quilts on Pinterest. I have never tired of making the zig zag layout as many have followed this one.
2013 was the year my 99 year old dad passed away. I made several 16 patch quilts that summer to keep my sanity with all of the things going on. This was my favorite and I called it "Peony Garden". I don't intend to gift this one to anybody. Here is Zinnia Garden and here is the African fabric 16 patch which I gifted to a nephew. The Autumn Coneflower 16 patch was sold as a quilt top. Here is a tutorial for making 16 patch quilts with every seam going in opposite directions at intersections as you sew the blocks together into a top.
