Anita Grossman Solomon: First Quilt/Latest Quilt

Like many of us, Anita Grossman Solomon’s first quilt was a destination quilt:  a little quilt for her sister’s baby boy. Now, years later, he’s a university student and his aunt is a renowned quilt maker with nifty quilt-construction “tricks” up her sleeve.

Anita traced the animal motifs on the themed fabric to make accent appliqué pieces; she then finished each block with satin-stitched edging and hand quilting.

Let’s jump forward a decade or two for Anita’s latest quilt modeled by another nephew—a handsome, strapping young man. Anita is a Manhattanite and so an urban photo shoot is especially appropriate for the debut of her latest exploration of innovative quilt-block building. Stay tuned via Anita’s website for further developments along that front.
