Cloud Flowers - my latest quilt. Surprisingly, its a one hanky quilt !

I know I said I would probably not do any more 'one hanky quiltmaking' after publishing my book on the subject.

I have a developing website on the subject of one hanky quiltmaking.

But a family friend, a latter day flower child, gave me such a beautiful ,flower-oriented, highly unusual hanky I couldn't resist.

The material of the hanky was wonderful to work with - a soft linen.  In keeping with the theme, I added a tied-dyed backing to this quilt.

The hanky was made up of flowers floating as if in the sky.

The fact that the friend, Amy Honey , is herself a young 'flower child' in many ways, made the making of this 20"x 20" quilt a delight.

My son, Michael, and his better half, Rebecca, helped name this quilt.
