 Art Deco #2 by David Armour David Armour is back this week with one of his intricately pieced fractured quilts. David uses a mix of hand dyed fabrics from several dyers. This quilt includes several Shades Packs and he uses them to great effect. You can follow David on his Facebook Page. He has generously given us a few close up photos too.    For sharing, David received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months! If you have made anything with my hand dyed fabric I hope you will consider sharing it in the Customer Gallery. The only rule is that projects have to be complete. It doesn't have to be made totally from hand dyed fabric, just include a recognizable amount.

Perkins Quilt by Jane Sleeva  Jane Sleeva's quilt was inspired by a Philip Perkins painting that she has in her home. She used gradients to make a sofa quilt to use in the same room. The Blue Sky, Copper Mine, Black and Gray Skies gradients helped her get the same color effects as the painting.

Split Decision by Linda Swanekamp This week's Customer Gem is from Linda Swanekamp and it proves that just a little hand dyed fabric can make a big impact. Her quilt is called Split Decision and you can read about it here.  Of course it's the blues and greens that are the hand dyed fabrics. Looking closely I believe that this was 2 Stash Packs. It's a very cool effect using such a variety of green and blue hand dyes with the mix of black and white commercial prints.
