Lavender II

Another Lavender laptop quilt was made for a female high school runner. This Lavender was designed as a 4 by 4 grid of 16 blocks. One block (Row 2 of the right-hand column) had a very long design so we shortened another block so the long design wouldn't have to get cut off.

In the left-hand column, 2nd row you will see 3 mini designs sewn together as one block.

The sashing fabric is very appropriate for this quilt theme as it depicts female runners (and a couple of guys) in a race.

Tarragon II

Tarragons are twin-sized quilts ranging from 20-24 shirts that would result in a grid of 4×5 or 4×6 shirts.

This Tarragon was commissioned for a recent high school graduate who is off to college this fall. This young man is a talented athlete playing baseball, lacrosse, and football. He also was in marching band, DECA and….I'm saving the best for last…he is an Eagle Scout! Some of his baseball shirts had either patches from the Little League/Babe Ruth organizations or the two-button neckline. I was able to include the buttons and the patches on several blocks. The recipient is very into military history hence BDU fabric was used for the sashing and binding. He also is fascinated by frogs so a vibrant amphibian fabric was chosen for the backing fabric.
