Lap Quilts

I have completed and gifted two lap quilts.  Both went to the daughters of my nephew.  Fabrics were selected especially for their color choices and artist of preference.  I used a variation of the "Highlights" pattern.  For each there is one large featured panel and then 2 or three sides high "highlighted" smaller squares.  Selecting the fabrics, planning the layout and then making them was an absolute delight.  And I have enough of both fabric selections to do another, and maybe even 2 more of each.  When completed these will also gifts, who is yet unknown.

Here is the Monet inspired quilt.  The large panel is fabric printed with Monet's Bridge Over Lily Pond.  The center of the surrounding, highlighting, squares are sections from another piece of fabric with more from the same painting. Most of the frames around the squares are Monet inspired prints as is the backing fabric

.

The other is a Frida Kahla inspired quilt. The main panel and the centers of the highlight squares are from fabric with motif's from her paintings.  The borders and backing were selected to coordinate and enhance the Kahla prints.
