doyenna (), click to enlargeDoyenna (2008)  98cm x 210cm (38.5" x 82.5")

A "life-size" quilt I've been wanting to make for a long time, waiting for a sufficiently large stash, sufficient sewing skills and most of all a good design.
Quilt detail 1, detail 2, detail 3.

 
toverbal (), click to enlargeToverbal (2009)  128cm x 128cm (50.5" x 50.5")

Toverbal is Dutch for gobstopper or jawbreaker, but a more literal translation would be "magic ball". I created the three-dimensional design using POV-Ray. Quilt detail.

 
falkens-maze (), click to enlargeFalkens Maze (2001)  151cm x 100cm (59.5" x 39.5")

The idea for this quilt came after buying a packet of 4" squares (Jinny Beyer's Basic Reality collection). I used EQ4 to design the pattern. The name comes from a (totally unrelated) movie, which I'm sure you can Google out for yourself if you really want to. Quilt detail.

 
pkn-logo (PKN Beeldmerk), click to enlargePCN Logo (PKN Beeldmerk 2004)  85cm x 85cm (33.5" x 33.5")

This quilt shows the logo of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PCN). The unification of three Protestant churches into the PCN happened on 1 May 2004. Quilt detail.

 
flora-and-fungi (), click to enlargeFlora & Fungi (2004)  123cm x 123cm (48.5" x 48.5")

A rendition of four (holiday)snapshots of flowers and mushrooms. The photos were converted into a patchwork pattern using the computer. Each patch is shaped differently, but the design makes it possible to sew them together in straight lines. Quilt detail.
