Which way did he go, is the name of this
first quilt, can you see all the arrows? I really like Doreen’s choice of
bright fabrics a nice contrast to the black crisscrossing squares.

Doreen enhanced the theme of this quilt with the fabric she chose for the back,
there is an out of scale, out of proportion map of Canada fabric, bordered with lively
ladies in all the bright colours used in the front of the quilt. So much
fun.

Here is a close-up of the map with Banff
near the Great Lakes.
Another close-up showing some of the
bright ladies.
For quilting, Doreen chose the whimsical
Popcorn pantograph by Jodi Beamish and a Rainbow variegated thread. And
there’s a red arrow – I think he went that way ↑

This quilt is from the book Simple Strategies for Block-Swap Quilts
by Lynn Roddy Brown.
The second quilt is called On
Safari.

This little baby size quilt has images
of African animals, so we decided to quilt it with the Animal Crackers
pantograph by Patricia Ritter. Here you can see an elephant in the
corner.

Doreen used a lovely striped flannel on
the back. The first image shows the colour of the backing better, and the
second shows the Animal Crackers pantograph attractively.

I always look forward to Doreen’s
quilts, as I enjoy their scrappiness and Doreen’s choices of colour.
Find Joy in the Journey.
