Christmas 2014 Loris Quilt


Loris quilt was  started Jan 6 at the Family party.. We went to the bins and started pulling colors based on the 'spiragraph motif"



many many strips strings were cut from  odd stash and sewed to the octagon,  much  like an old fashioned  pineapple pattern.


       ...................and it grew...


a border was made.. and added....


 I quilted sitting next to the river in Rockwell.. at  Beeds Lake in Hampton.. at a park  in Kansas.. at a park in Illinois.. going down the road in the Rv.. while staying up all night a ta  ugly park in Okla.. in Texas..


.. each motif from the fornt was quilted in a different variation.. like snowflakes  !



 I finished it while at the  RV park in Tx.




 old phone book ages were cut and spaced so I could do the border nicely...















... each motif slightly different...


hand quilted king size mostly done on the hoop while traveling.  It was  gifted to Lori for Christmas 2014.  I got it back to make the round of the  County Fairs where it recvd several ribbons.
