Some of my quilts
these are some of my quilts, which I have added here as a sort of reference. It is quite an incomplete listing, but I want to try to get most of them recorded here eventually.
They are all original designs unless otherwise noted, although many are just traditional patterns.
I hope to add notes as time goes on. Sorry about the quality of some of the photos.
