Daylily Onepatch

Daylily Onepatch by Ann Maley

Daylily Onepatch by Ann Maley

Ann Miller Malley hopes someone has found her Daylily Onepatch quilt which she made in 1994. The quilt belongs to Tom and Suellen Knight. It was stolen from their seasonal home on St. Simon’s Island, Georgia when they were not in residence. It was last seen sometime around 1996.

Ann’s quilt is 66.5″ by 51″. The main colors are yellow, orange, red, and green. It is machine pieced, hand appliqued, machine quilted, and it has beading at the center of some of the flowers. Except for the borders, every piece is a curved, half-petal/leaf shape. This became Ann’s logo and she used it on her stationary and business cards. This quilt has a label sewn to the lower right corner on the back. It has Ann’s name, the name of the quilt, and probably something about it being an original tessellation.

If you know anything about this missing quilt, please contact Ann at annmaley@comcast.net.
