The Green quilt

Even though green is not the main color of this quilt, the customer named it like that! The quilt was made using a simple squares pattern with 8 inch blocks, and many different Michael Miller fabrics. It was quilted edge to edge on a diagonal square grid of 3 inches apart.

This quilt was a commission and was sold prior to publishing this post. You can see other quilts for sale here: SHOP

Welcome to Zarkadia Quilting Co.!

Quilts are the most intimate and personal of objects. They connect us with each other to the primal ground of the bed-the place we spend half our lives; where we are born, sleep, have sex, and die; the place where we replenish ourselves and dream our dreams; the place of nurture and healing, where we retreat in sickness and frailty; and the place where we receive the comfort and care of those who love us.
