This quilt is very reminiscent of Bill Volckening’s quilt from Day 8, and of other quilts, like palampores, from the late 18th and early 19th century.

This joyful composition is bright and cheery,  light and energetic.  With the direction and placement of the flowers on the inner border, the design bursts jubilantly outward.  And the outer grapevine border is charming and the perfect finish for the rest of the quilt.  I love how the vines do not connect and turn the corners at the top.  Very liberated!

 

Thank you for joining me this year!

 

 Merry Christmas

and

Happy New Year!

I wish you 

and your loved ones 

all the best.
