Scarlett's Quilt Gallery 2

Revised June 13, 2008

Here are more pictures of Scarlett's quilt projects. Please be patient as the pictures load.

Symbols & Seasons of Japan

Finished in July 2001 - 40" square

A paperpieced leaf background from my Autumn Splendor pattern (see below) with three dimensional kimonos (about Barbie doll sized) that are completely machine embroidered. Silk flowers and beads were added, too. This quilt won an Honorable Mention in the Best Use of Amazing Designs category of the 2001 Sulky Challenge.

Autumn Leaves
90" x 90"

A pattern that's available for this quilt is called Autumn Splendor

This is a scrap quilt with no two leaves the same.  At one time back in the late 1980s, I had considered selling this quilt, but no one wanted to pay $300 for it.  Now I have redone this design and have a pattern available for it!  To see two other versions of this design, please visit Scarlett's Quilt Patterns.  This original quilt has a prairie point border, using assorted black prints.

A Price for Freedom

49" x 59"

This wallhanging was made because of the Gulf War.  I had friends and other people I knew about who were in the military during this time.  I am patriotic, but also realistic about the costs of war in terms of lives changed and lost. This wallhanging was recently displayed at the "A July Quilt Spectacular!" patriotic quilt exhibit held at KIXE - Channel 9 studio in Redding, California during July, 2002.

Starbright was made for a quilt challenge by Quilt World magazine.  It won an honorable mention and the pattern was published in a special issue with all the contest winners.

To Each Her Own Log Cabin
89" x 88"

This quilt is a Friendship quilt that I made using blocks that I received at a quilting retreat.  As you can see, everyone's idea of color was different and they didn't want to make all the same kind of log cabin block.  I used Margaret Miller's book "Blockbuster Quilts" as my source of inspiration. It was a struggle to get all the blocks to work and I had to make a couple myself to finish the top.

All Parts of A Whole
31" x 31"

This wallhanging I made as an experiment in putting blocks of different sizes together.  They overlap and share common pattern pieces.  It gives an illusion of blocks laying on top of each other.  The flowers are sewn on, they're silk flowers that give the quilt a three dimensional quality.  The vines are appliqued. This wallhanging was donated to KIXE - Channel 9 in Redding, CA for their Art Auction in April 2002. It did well and raised some much-needed money for my local PBS station.

Legacy: Somehow It All Fits Together was my experiment in trying to make two traditional quilt patterns fit together.  I added the ivy leaves to jazz it up.  Some are stenciled on and some are silk ivy leaves that I glued and sewed on.  This wallhanging was sold at a quilt auction at the Quilter's Sew-Ciety of Redding quilt show and is owned by Janice Phelps.
