Astrid here, again. It seems Jane has been working uncollaboratively on this solid-colors quilt. She finished it last night and brought it over today, to show me. Jane loves the many quilts designed by Gwen Marston. Gwen Marston was born in 1936 and passed away in 2019. She has had a huge impact on thousands of quilters, worldwide. I feel that her biggest contribution to quilting was her gift of inspiring other quilters to break away from patterns and design their own quilts, while developing their own styles, which grew out of the traditional.
This is Jane's first quilt using all solid-colored fabrics. It looks magnificent! She said she was playing around just sewing different colored pieces together and then cutting them and reassembling them. When she put them on her white design-wall she had a little space between them and decided she liked the white breaking up her blocks, so that is how she improvised her own quilt design.
