The Traditional Quilt Gallery
This page contains a sample designs for traditional quilts I have created--usually as gifts for someone.  Traditional quilts are those that have been created using traditional quilting materials and methods.  To see example photos of the works, simply e-mail me directly at nnekakusema@sewlsista.com or click on the reserve tab on the right to submit an inquiry.   

Simply Strips
This quilt is made up of strips of various widths in your desired colors/patterns.  This straightforward quilt does not have a border, it is backed with a single fabric and is finished with a pillowcase edging.  It comes in two sizes:  $40 Crib-sized (34” X 40”)  or $65 Throw (40” X 60”) $65.

Square in a Square Quilts
This square-shaped quilt is made of blocks which look like off-set squares inside another square.  This quirky quilt has charming simplicity and comes in two sizes:  The $60 baby quilt (36” X 36”) contains 16-8” blocks and the $85 Large Lap Quilt (54” X 54”) contains 16-12”  blocks.   Once blocks are sewn together the quilt is then bordered or “framed” with your choice of fabric and finished with a contrasting double-rolled binding.  

Mix-don’t-Match Quilts
Unlike the traditional quilt, this whimsical throw uses squares and rectangles of different sizes that are not meant to “match” up when it is put together.   It is backed with a single fabric and finished with a pillowcase edging.  The $60 Crib-sized quilt measures 34” X 40” and the $85 Throw measures approximately 40” X 60” and is even big enough for an adult to use.  

Quillows
A quillow is a blanket which folds into a pillow when not in use.  When unfolded, it has a pocket for your feet.  This custom-made quilt comes in two sizes: $45 Crib-sized (34” X 40”) and $70 Throw (40” X 50”) and allows you to choose one quilt block pattern for the pillow pocket.  Four photos may be substituted for the quilt block for a $10 total fee.  (See below for possible patterns.)  Each block is bordered or “framed” with a fabric in your color choice, called sashing, and also has an additional border framing the pocket.

Pieced/Photo Wall Hangings
Create a picture gallery to celebrate or remember a special person or event, or just keep it simple with traditional quilt patterns.  This personalized, custom-made wall-hanging comes in four sizes in a square layout.  For example:  The 2X2 size means there are two blocks across and down for a total of 4 blocks.  You can choose to fill all blocks with photos, alternate your photos with another quilting pattern or have all blocks contain a quilt pattern.  (See below for possible patterns.)  Photos are printed and trimmed to a 6” X 6”, which is the same size as the blocks with quilting patterns.  Each block is bordered or “framed” with a fabric in your color choice, called sashing, and the entire quilt is then bordered with a 3” border.  Each quilt has tabs decoratively added to the quilt for easy hanging.  Wall Hangings are priced as follows:  

2X2 blocks (18” X 18”) $55            3X3 blocks (32” X 32”) $105
4X4 blocks (40” X 40”) $185          5X5 blocks (48” X 48”) $275

Want it in a crib or lap quilt instead of a wall hanging? The $135 Crib-sized quilt has 12-6” blocks  (3X4 layout) and the $225 Lap Quilt has 20-6” blocks (4X5 layout).
