Mark's Quilt is finished. I don't have words to describe the process, nor the reason.
Here is a close up of the machine stitching by Cinnamon Dreams.
The cool backing fabric is a hand-dyed, then hand spot bleached. It gives a grassy, rocky feel.
This is a simple fence rail pattern made with a jelly roll of batik fabrics.
A jelly roll is 2 1/2 inch strips rolled up and tied with a ribbon to make a beautiful display of fabric. I took a 90 strip jelly roll and sewed four strips together, then made two 10" squares each. Each block is duplicated once. There was no rhyme or reason to my design - just tried to balance the colors. Some areas are more successful than others.
The label reads:
A Quilt for Mark
We hope this quilt warms your body and comforts your soul. Love, The Denneys.
I hope it does.
