Quilts by Kathryn Butterworth

Kathryn Butterworth used mostly Kaffe polka dot fabrics to make this log cabin quilt!

For this one she used the "Catch a Nap" pattern, which looks "bohemian nautical."

Click this one to see better!  It is all different shades and textures of beige and gray tones!  Beautiful!!

Orange and turquoise are the colors for this one!  I always think of Howard Johnson's Restaurant when I see these colors.  They look great together, and I love the little sparks of red in it!
