Beverly Quilter

This queen sized quilt began with a group of coordinating fabrics from Henry Glass Fabrics called “Garnets & Gingham”. I went with a solid off white fabric for the background to set off the beautiful red prints. This quilt measuring 87”x106” is up for sale on eBay and may be found by searching for “red and white quilt”.

Merging two different classic blocks created a pleasing design for this quilt. To keep it simple and not detract from the center of the quilt I went with little red squares alternating with white in the border.

The backing fabric is an off white with tiny red dots design print. I used an off white thread and machine quilted this in an all over abstract design.

This post will feature batik lap quilts that I have made and are available for sale on eBay. Each quilt is made with beautiful batik fabrics and measure a nice large lap size approximately 48” x 63”.
As I create new quilts this year I will add them here. Remember to check back often for updates! All of these quilts will be posted for sale on eBay where you will find more pictures and details of each. I would recommend you search for “Scrappy Batik Quilts” on eBay where they will be listed on my site; “stripedtomato”. Enjoy!

– Puzzle Quilt #7———– Puzzle Quilt #8 ———- Puzzle Quilt #9 –

I worked on three puzzle quilts simultaneously over the summer knowing I was going to be donating one of them. After learning about a small fire that damaged a portion of one of the buildings belonging to my local historical society,I wanted to do something to support the effort to repair that damage.

I won’t go into construction details here.Previous posts on this blog of my puzzle quilts can be found and will give you more info.

While it took a little longer than I expected to complete the three quilts,it was a lot of fun. I made a bunch of blocks and moved them around until I had three different “tops” that I liked. The quilt with the green floral border (# 9) was chosen by Historic Beverly for their fund raiser and the other two are up for sale on eBay. Please search for “Puzzle Quilt”.

Another queen sized (88” x103”) Scrappy Pineapple quilt! The first one (shown earlier in this blog) sold fast and I had inquiries as to a possible second one. It took a while,but here it is! I’m not sure if I’ll be making another one too soon,they take a long time to make. This second one sold on eBay.

This quilt was made the same way as the first one,including the same backing fabric. I did however put a black print binding on this one to change it up a little bit.

This large blue and white pineapple quilt measures 88”x103”.The same pattern as “Large Scrappy Pineapple” only this time I used an assortment of cotton prints and batiks in blues,whites and beiges.
This quilt has sold on eBay.

This one was in the works for almost two years. It took a while to accumulate a varied assortment of blues and white/beige fabrics.
