Originally this was just happy fun quilt I decided to make based on some fabrics I purchased in the Outer Banks, then it took on a life of it's own... The simplicity of the design and the colors just made feel happy! Enjoy it as a throw or a great wall hanging!

Artist Statement:

Ron Leone: Men In Quilts - I started quilting over 15 years ago after I retired. Since I was child, I always enjoyed working with fabric and creating beautiful things. Whether it was designing & making outfits for marionettes I created or just stitching up some fun Halloween costumes…working with fabric has always been fun to me. Being a tactile person, I find working with fabrics, battings and threads very satisfying. There are few things as sensuously tactile as working in fiber art. The different textures, colors and designs are very inspiring.
Also, though this may sound weird – I find the hum, motion and vibrations of a sewing machine very calming.
Over these many years, I have created many quilts and quilted items that make people happy, keep people warm and make their homes more beautiful – this make me (and them) very happy.
