Description:
The Jesters Tales is Jaimie's favorite appliqué quilt. She sat down to draw one day, which happen to be her birthday, and began to create this quilt. Normally having worry and angst about needing to rework things when she is designing, the idea for this quilt came to her fully-formed. Inspired and intrigued by the four block quilts of the nineteenth-century, The Jesters Tales pays homage to that style, but it takes its name from the idea that the flowers coming out of the vases look like jester hats. Because of this, Jaimie ran with the idea and created a story about four different jesters and inked that story in the borders of the quilt.
