"P.U.D. - Private Unit Development" Charlotte Patera 1994 22"W x 25"L
Commercial Cotton Fabric, cotton batting, cotton thread, polyester thread. Hand applique, machine pieced, machine quilted. This quilt has an irregular border and is photographed on a light grey background.
One of the first small quilts I purchased, this one came from the East Bay Heritage Quilters silent auction, held at their semi-annual quilt show at the Oakland Convention Center.
Everything about this quilt appealed to me, even though I have never been a fan of pink. The interesting combination of coordinated fabrics, even though none of them come from the same manufacturer, the traditional house design appliqued (instead of pieced) in a very nontraditional color. I felt very fortunate to have the highest bid - and still do.
The quilting is done w/poly thread on the top and cotton in the bobbin, and it forms sort of icicles hanging from the sashing to the bottom of each block. Very subtle and effective.

I really like her work. The colors are so happy and I particularly like the setting being so quirky.
Dear Del,
I'm not a pink person, either, but I really like this quilt. I like the askew setting, the applique instead of piecing, and the over/under print in the border.
Also, really like your Autumn Trellis--those are my colors! Are the small red and gold leaves appliqued over the stripes, or are they part of the print?
Keep up the good work,
