I have been quilting since 1999 and have decided to keep an online journal of my quilts. In this way, I can document their history and preserve their memory for my family and future generations. Most of my quilts are made as gifts; and with few exceptions, I have taken pictures of my quilts with their recipient. I have also made many charity quilts for Project Linus, Wrapped in Hope and Quilts for Kids.

Please join me for my quilt parade!

My Quilt #111 ~ Rocky Road to Dublin Quilt 2006

2029277410052745537aQhBbV_fs 

Finished Quilt 52 x 66 ~ Sold on eBay $39.99

This quilt is made of 5-inch-square scraps from my stash.  It consists of 16 Rocky Road to Dublin blocks, 12-inch each.  It uses a block setting of 4 x 4.

Four-patch, shaded-four-patch, and small half-square-triangle units are combined in this traditional block. the use of black tone-on-tone fabric in the small triangles of the shaded four-patch units emphasizes the secondary design created when the blocks are set together.

Pattern is from the More Nickel Quilts book by Pat Speth.  I sold this in January 2007.
