Simple Rose

This quilt is composed of simple blocks but has a border with roses made from a wreath that a miniature stallion won.

Simple Stripes

These quilts are a great example of how the ribbons can be used to create a beautiful pattern without losing much of their original look.

True Colors

A simple pattern that uses 144 ribbons and is a wonderful way to put the ribbons to use without losing much length.

Patchy Pinto

This pattern really compresses a large number of ribbons into a small project. Ribbons that should not be cut into 2", 4", or 6" segments are saved for the border.

Something Simple

Not Yet Used

Streaming Ribbons

< This (~3'x3') wall-hanging used 200 ribbons. A magnificent trophy for any determined rider. <

> Some vintage ribbons from the late 70's beautifully illustrate how the ribbons will age to add to the value of the quilt as an heirloom. Also, a good example of how even older ribbons stand up to the quilting process. >

> A collection of dog show ribbons makes an interesting watercolor of streaming ribbons. >

Cabin Patterns

< Rosette Queen with Embroidery - This quilt was created for a competitive girl to adorn her bed and features around 1000 ribbons. It is sure to be treasured for generations as will be the memory of the horses whose names are embroidered in the corners. <

> Agility Cross Hatch - A nearly queen sized quilt in honor of four agile dogs whose names are (owner supplied) embroidered on the black fabric border. Unfortunately, for the dogs, I don't think they'll get to sleep on it! >

< Rosette Queen - A beautiful queen sized quilt that used ribbons from six years of competitive showing. <

> Random Cabin - This is a very functinal quilt in size and design. It reminds me of the crazy qults from the depression era with it's random assortment of ribbons, velvet border and backing, and red binding. >

< Star with Rosette Queen Corners - An Ohio Star set on its corners to create space for a large collection of smaller ribbons with satin button centers. <

> Picture Perfect Cabin - The ribbons are arranged around photos of the horses who won them. A fancy paint takes credit for the cluster of black ribbons that really make this quilt stand apart. >

< Best Friend's Cabin - A seemingly random assortment of ribbons with photos placed in eight of the diagonal blocks. <

> The Line-Up - A nice pattern for hanging and a wonderful size to sit on and enjoy at the shows. >

< Clean Round - A lovely size and pattern for display or use at shows and other events. <

< Positive Negative - An abstract star; was 3.5' x 3.5' and used around 260 ribbons. This quilt is so action packed that even the fabric from the rosette buttons played a role. <

< Jones' Star - A lovely size and pattern to display or to use at shows and other events. <
