I was given a roll of 4 1/2″ wide Aunt Gracie 30’s reproduction prints, I made this simple
design to not waste any of it. I also added men’s oxford shirting stripes salvaged from shirts.

I bought the huge scale circle fabric first for this quilt,
which represents the bubble towers in the lobby at the National Aquarium in
Baltimore,MD. the other blocks have fish centers and are tilted.
I call this ” I got seasick at the Baltimore Aquarium”.

I can’t seem to decide whether this is a wall hanging or a baby quilt! It is made with Laurel Burch’s line of bright cat fabrics. It is so Bright! I love the striped binding. I made these with the endless half square triangle leftovers from the Friendship star quilts mom and I made.

I made this from salvaged men’s blue and white shirts with accent
triangles, It has a beachy feeling.

Never met a kid yet who could resist these quilts full
of different novelty fabrics! We have collected tons
of prints over the years and made many of these
happy kids twin sized quilts.

I gathered tons of florals from friends and family
to add to this fancy french braid, mom still has to finish hers.

This a quilt mom gave me, it is very old and has the teeniest hand-quilting in a grid pattern,I will never hand quilt, takes too much time for me, plus it would mean that I stayed home,which i never do either. MarianTworek

Fabric collecting and cutting done by Marian Tworek and donated to Jessica Lowry who designed and constructed this quilt.

These beautiful batiks sewed together with almost no pinning, which is a nice change for me.  I haven’t had a chance to get this quilted yet. I don’t want to tie it since that would be a waste of these expensive batiks.

This is the ghost fish in the river of time. My favorite square.

Marian designed this herself. We got a pattern for the pumpkin and she was off and running and finished with this Fall tribute. The background is shades of teal batik and it makes the pumpkins almost dance off the fabric. Nancy Lowry

I feel that the original quilt batik greens are darker, richer and more dramatic than these photos would suggest.It has an evening feel to it. This was another of the quilts which mom and I quilted together which leaped from the imagination right onto the fabric. It went together quickly MarianTworek
