Journal quilts

Every other year since 2007 I’ve taken part in the Contemporary Quilt challenge of making a small quilt every month for a year. Each time there are some rules – size, or colour, or shape. This gallery has some examples from each year. Please click on thumbnails to see a larger image.

2015 Journal quilts

All of this year's journals are 6 x 12 inches, and are all based on life drawings I've done.

2012 Journal quilts

In 2012 I used a different theme for each third of the year: The first set had to be all red; the next set are yellow, and the last months of the year are blue. They are A4 size.

2009 Journal quilts

In 2009 the size was 6 x 12 inches, and most of my pieces were based on folk costumes and clothing.

2007 Journal quilts

In 2007 the size was A4; I made most of my pieces about Tan-y-Bwlch, the beach close to where I live in west Wales. I enjoyed the process so much that I also made a series for my grand-daughter, about something she did each month. There are three of these in the gallery.
