This is the first quilt that I made that I considered a success- I was happy with the design and function. I made it in 1978, 30 years ago. The top and bottom edges were originally navy and white stripe. I also used that fabric in the dark areas. The design has changed because of how it faded but not ruined. I used another stripe fabric from an old dress that has completely disintegrated. This quilt has seen a lot of use and it is stained, torn, all around pretty ratty. If I get inspired to make another quilt, I might use this design as a starting place. I’m going to put this photo onto flickr so you can see it big if you are interested.

oooh! a quilt! Very nice Mimi, very now for 30 years ago, I like it. I’m trying to get an art quilt to a stage where I can photograph it for a show, (deadline is Monday!) so mad at present, but after Monday? Great to see one of your quilts!
It’s beautiful, I like the simple design a lot. I think I want to make one like this someday!
i love it!
What a lovely piece!
I like the blues a lot and the simple, modern look of it.
And the year you made it :-), because that was also my time of patchwork.
