Cotton Candy

Pam Brennan

Pretty pastels,turquoise and purple.This 85”x101” scrappy batik quilt reminds me of those delicious cotton candy clouds offered at summer fairs. I made this one similar to “Galaxy” only this time I did not use any pre-cuts. Instead I cut all the 2 1/2” strips from fabrics I had on hand. Each block is made of four different colors with the squares arraigned on a diagonal. Placement of those blocks creates the diamond swirl look. The outer border fabric,which is also used as the backing,frames those blocks and brings everything together. This quilt sold on http://www.eBay.com.

I’m a work from home long arm quilter/quiltmaker.I learned to sew on my Nana’s treadle machine when I was around 8 yrs old but didn’t start making quilts til much later in life.I’m mostly self taught and have been making quilts for 30+ years.I enjoy making scrappy quilts and love working with batiks,but I have a fondness for antique reproduction fabrics as well.I tend to work with more traditional style block patterns but I put my own spin on them with use of fabric choices.I also do some pantograph quilting for people who want their tops finished into quilts.
