After visiting the Julie Valentine Center in early spring and being moved by their kind work, I resolved to make a simple children’s quilt each month for their benefit and to try something new for mine.
The multi-colored quilt is made from odd, leftover strips from jelly rolls.
The sea-blue quilt below holds triangle test blocks and hexagons made from an equilateral-triangle UFO appliquéd to Kona Celestial, a favorite color. I thought they ended up looking like sea diatoms* so I quilted “waves” around them.
*Diatoms are algae and the only organism in the world that live within cell walls made of transparent, opaline silica, which are ornamented by intricate and striking patterns.
Thanks,
Cindy Lange
