It’s Not Easy Being Green

Updated: May 28, 2020





Entry Number: 6


Quilt Maker: Corey J. Ralph

Quilted By: Quilted by Machine (Longarm) - Pantograph Guided:

Corey Ralph - Sew Manly Quilting

Techniques: Pieced

Design Source: Original Design based on Ricky Tims' Caveman Quilting Technique


Artist Statement

This quilt is an original design using Ricky Tims’ caveman quilting technique. I layered five different 14” squares, cut them using a gentle curve, mixed up the made of various colours and pieced the gentle curves. I then repeated the process two more times. Each block was squared to 12”. The top is made using Ricky Tims’ hand-dyed fabrics.


The inspiration for the project comes from the Kermit the Frog song with the same title.

An Irish Blessing

Techniques: Pieced

Design Source: Double Irish Chain


Artist Statement

In August 2018, Mama and I spent several hours together sorting through her fabric stash, quilting supplies and patterns. Despite being very tired, Mama had a plan for me. In the quiet of our time together she asked a very special request. She asked if I would consider making quilts for her beautiful sisters using her stash. Mama's request came with great love and pride. She knew she was sick and knew she would never be able to make quilts for her.


I promised her that day, that the quilts I make for her would be constructed with as much love as she would put into them herself. We spent time choosing patterns and fabrics. We laughed and we cried!


This quilt is a traditional Double Irish Chain. The fabric is French General by Moda. I completed one block and got her approval to continue. The finished quilt has one layer of 100% wool over Hobb’s 80/20 batting. I love the quilting here; it works as a whole cloth when reversed.

In the quiet of our time together she asked a very special request. She asked if I would consider making quilts for her beautiful sisters using her stash.

I promised her that day, that the quilts I make for her would be constructed with as much love as she would put into them herself. We spent time choosing patterns and fabrics. We laughed and we cried!

This quilt is a modern pattern that Mama thought Rebecca would like. It has a simple design with improvisation blocks using a batik jellyroll from her stash. I designed one block and got her approval to continue. The finished quilt has two layers of Hobb's 80/20 white batting.


"Rebecca, my darling, this quilt is made especially for you. Whenever you see it, don't be sad because I am no longer here, but use it as a reminder that I will keep you warm, dry your tears and cover you with love for the rest of your days. I love you so much"! Love, Nanny
