lap quilt

  • My husband named this quilt Dazzle as he said it reminded him of Dazzle Camouflage.  I had no idea there was such a thing, but apparently in WW1 (and to a lessor extent in WW2), it was used to confuse the enemy and make it difficult to estimate a target's range, speed and heading, rather than to conceal.  (thanks to Wikipedia!) There is nothing concealing about this quilt.  It is bright and dazzling (like that?) and a perfect masculine quilt.  A good size for a twin bed, or as a snuggle quilt.
  • Evangeline - I looked up the meaning of this baby name and it means "good news, bringer of good news".  People with this name tend to be orderly, a bit like the crosses in this quilt.  (Thanks Kate for the quilt name :)).  The crosses are described as modern vintage, I used modern fabrics, making them into traditional blocks of crosses and hourglasses. The fabrics are from my stash of pinks, watermelons, salmons and deep berry colours.  Perfect size for a single bed, or as a topper for a larger bed.  You could also hang it on the wall, though it will need a rod pocket.
