Your "Dream Quilt" - what is it?

Hi Jo,

Mine is a Clarice Cliff quilt - I have all the materials required but have never got around to doing it - have had the materials for 4 years now and will probably another 4 before I get around to it.

My dream quilt - for which I have fabric collected and photographs taken! - is the cosmati- style tiling on the sanctuary floor of Bristol Cathedral. I have already made a quilt of the 'choir' floor; and I have drawn and ready to go the tiled tops of the various steps around the sanctuary. I have started trying to draw the sanctuary floor, but haven't quite cracked it yet. After a long period away from P&Q, I am building up slowly to get this quilt (which has been in my mind for about 10 years now) accurately drawn and ready to work with the fabric.

If it is drawn, and the patterns prepared, then if I become incapable of doing it, then the drawings and patterns can be passed on to someone else to carry out (but I hope it will be me >g

My favorite is a double wedding ring. I have made several, finished several and dream of a couple other ways to do them. Winding ways is calling too. Taria

Your "dream quilt" - what pattern is it? Colours? Have you made it? If not yet, why not? Mine is Storm at Sea in shades of dark blue & light blue & white, but I have to finish two quilts I'm making right now, then I want to start it!

Jo, great minds think alike! I finished my Storm at Sea last year and am soooo happy with it. I did it in a lite-sky-blue and dark-sky-blue. Just the 2 colors. I love the wave effect of it. I did mine using the paper-piecing method which made all the points work out very nicely.

So far, all my quilts have been a simple block or hexagon made with scraps in a checkerboard pattern with off white blocks. Once I made steps in 4 shades of blues for my sister. My dream quilt is a storm at sea. I have the pattern but haven't made it. I want to make it out of different blues. Something always gets in the way to stop me. Oh well! Barbara in FL

I did a lap-quilt-size blue & White Storm at Sea several years ago. It's very scrappy. All the blues and most of the white are from my stash. I love it; it lays over the back of one of our living room chairs.

I think my dream quilt would be a whole cloth with an appliqued medallion in the center and possibly appliqued border, hand applique and hand quilted. I will never make it -- too much arthritis in my hands.
