How I love to start a New Year with a newly finished quilt!
This one is called "Ginkgo - Garden" because of the fifteen blocks that show
five multicolored Ginkgo-leaves in a circle,
five multicolored Ginkgo-leaves in a circle,
growing from a five-sided figure in the center,
thereby forming five petals.
Rows of garden flowers form the border.
There are forty-six of those.
This is one of them:
I wanted the whole "garden" to show both bright and shadowy places.
The quilt is sewn and quilted by hand,
and it's filled with two layers of batting:
a sheet of pure pre-washed wool plus a piece of fleece, consisting of pure cotton.
So I have enough volume for the quilting-stitches to give a good profile to the quilt,
while the wool provides a lovely warmth.
I put this label onto the back:
With this Garden Quilt I wish to send
best wishes for a lovely, colorful and joyful New Year to everyone!
