Quilt Exhibit: Animal Quilts

 

Hello! Welcome back to the Musee de la Grande Route. You are in for a special treat today. I am showcasing a specially curated selection of quilts of my animal (and insects) quilts.Some of these quilts have already been featured in the museum, but today you get to see them with new friends. 

 

A lot of these quilts were made for my rotating quilt collection, so they are seasonal. Wedding Wishes has lots of butterflies.


I enjoyed this technique for making the llama.

This one was one of my very first art quilts. I used dishwasher detergent to fade fabric to make the clouds.

 
This one is great for patriotic picnics.

This one was a free pattern.

This one unleashed my inner child.

 
Dog Gone Cute is a pattern by Lorna McMahon by Sew Fresh Quilts. I recently saw this pattern made with lots of dogs in bright colors.

A recent quilt about traveling.

This one is made with the same technique as the llama.

 
I still love the puffiness of the elephant on this quilt.



Not all pieced or appliqued. Some of them are a part of the fabric.  It has a bear and reindeer.

That Llama will always catch my heart. And maybe his counterpart the elephant too! I like the spirit in which they were made and the colors you used!
