Strip-pieced Watercolor Quilting

This lovely quilt was a graduation present for my niece, Sally Marie Beglau. She is on the right, her father Bob is in the background, and her younger sister Katy is on the left.

This quilt was my first experiment with strip-pieced watercolor quilting. I purchased no additional fabric for the front side of this quilt. (Though I must admit I purchased a fancy music print for the back side ;-) It was made entirely from strips I had saved as I collected fabrics for my watercolor stash.

Simple and Fun

Simple, quick, easy.... and fun!

This quilt uses a jelly bean fabric, probably cut in 10 inch squares, though I couldn't swear to it at this point. Using the colors of the jelly beans, I created a strip pieced border, using black joining squares for an accent. This was really a fun project to work on.

This cuddle quilt is currently in the possession of Shelly Pruitt, my son Walt's first wife.
