While any quilt may be hung these patterns are the most elaborate and complicated. The Wall-Hanging price includes backing, batting, custom top-quilting, binding, hanging sleeve, and showcase tabs. Patterns are selected with your guidance and with consideration for the lengths and colors of your ribbons.

Each of the quilts is one-of-a-kind; no pattern will be repeated as it is displayed here.

Four Star

Broken (Connecticut) Star

Actually a queen sized quilt made from the same idea as the star wall-hangings. Once completed, it will be totally functional yet beautiful enough to hang.

Maryland Star

Maryland Star with Intricate Borders

Plenty of interchanging colors, two complex borders, a vast collection of antique ribbons, and bold use of red make this quilt a dramatic work of art.

Maryland Star

Alternating blades of blue, red, and yellow set this star apart.

Maryland Star
Virginia Star

Virginia Star

An intricate star made even more complex by a large, decorated border.

New York Star

New York Stars

Slight variations of the same pattern and distinctly different color arrangements set these two wall-hangings apart.

New York Star
North Carolina Star

North Carolina Star

A collective gift for a friend on her 50th birthday to honor her life of showing. This star has many ribbons bordering it to encompass the entire collection.

Small Star

Small Star

Stars can be made in practically any size to show-off any collection of ribbons. This star is slightly larger than those used to create a pillow. It makes framing the finished quilt a possibility.

Oklahoma Star

Oklahoma Star

Despite the wide variety of colors used this star still tells the eye, "Hello, I'm blue! How are you?" - IN PROGRESS

New Hampshire Star

New Hampshire Star

Six panels rather than eight to showcase a unique and impressive collection of long-only ribbons.

Dairy Cross

Dairy Cross

Former show cows' names are incorporated on (customer supplied) ribbons and all mixed in with plenty of awarded ribbons to create this lattice-like pattern.

Dreamscape Photo Hanging

Dreamscape Photo Quilt

Former jumping partners centered diagonally among carefully planned fans of "gold only" ribbons to create a work of art worthy of a prominant spot in any home.

Dream Rollback

Dream Rollback

An artistic wall-hanging with blocks that are based on slightly more difficult, curved seams.

Phenom Photo Quilt

Small Stars

Just a flashy little wall-hanging. A great way to use a collection of smaller ribbons with championship ribbons forming the borders.

Phenom Photo Quilt

Phenom Photo Quilt

I think this is a great way to use a small number of ribbons to create a great quilt. My horse Phenom uses his as a stall decoration!

Phenom Photo Quilt

Trainer's Photo Quilt

This is a fantastic gift for a trainer - everyone in the barn contributed a picture, six ribbons, and around $20 to make a wonderful end-of-the-show-season gift.

Stained Glass Wall-Hanging

Stained Glass Hanging

This pattern, though it looks stunning, was quite complex and is not recommended for durability.

Broken New York Star

Broken (New York) Star

Made for a friend in honor of her horse, that was greatly loved and will be missed.

Illinois Star

Illinois Star

Sooo much blue! and quite a few championship ribbons! It is set diagonally with additional stars building the corners to make it 7x7'. An IMPRESSIVE wall-hanging and perfectly functional as a sofa throw.

Kentucky Star

Kentucky Star

A great pattern for a wide variety of colors and ribbon lengths.

Big Blue Star

Big Blue Stars

A couple of beautiful stars that are a little bit larger than most.

The first one features quite a few long blue ribbons which were even used in the binding.

The second one tricks the eye by using the four colors in predictable ways exept in a few instances.

Big Blue Star
Georgia Star

Georgia Star

The green border added to the outside makes this quilt exquisite; reminiscent of grassy fields and the blue, yellow, and white of sunny skies. Then, there is a touch of red to draw the eye to the center rosette.

California Star

California Stars

The California and Georgia stars are very similar in design but the California uses longer ribbons to greater effect. Slight variations of the same pattern and distinctly different color arrangements result in distinctly different wall-hangings.

Fancy stitching makes the second of these quilts more elegant up-close.

The third quilt features a blue border and central tab for showcasing a favorite rosette. It may be easiest to pin your favorite rosette(s) to the finished quilt so that they will not be so missed if they are no longer desired.

 

In Memory of Duke

A California Star created in memory of an equine friend who was lost in a tragic accident.

California Star
In Memory of Duke
Ohio Star

Ohio Stars

One star uses a collection of the fabric from the button in the center of each rosette. It is currently being custom quilted with black thread in a star design. It is a MUST SEE UP-CLOSE.

The second of these two stars made great use of some extra-wide (3") ribbons to form a 39" finished wall-hanging.

Ohio Star

Connecticut Stars

Slight variations of the same pattern and distinctly different color arrangements result in distinctly different wall-hangings once again!

The first one is a season award from the 2005 Highest Horse Schooling Shows and one of the first star wall-hangings created.

The second has a unique yellow octagonal border mixed in with the normal borders created from spare ribbons.

The third has more of a patchy appearance due to the various colors and sizes of ribbons used to create it.

The fourth has some (customer supplied) embroidered horse quote corners which are so clever!
