What's on the Quilting Frame? Kristin P's awesome batik quilt called Log Cabin Sampler. This was a block of the month from The Quilt Patch from last year. Kristin chose the quilting pattern Orange Peel. This is a traditional quilting pattern and totally fits the log cabin blocks. Then we used a variegated beige and tan thread called Sand Storm.
Its been a crazy month so far, 2 quilting retreats and other stuff. So I haven't posted much lately. I thought I'd share with you my own quilty things I've been working on since the start of the year: 1) Finished a quilt top called Crimson Christmas; 2) Finished a quilt top called High Rise by Its Sew Emma using Tavern Green fabrics; 3) Finished a quilt top called Lanterns by Sew Kind of Wonderful using oriental fabrics; 4) Worked on month 3 of the Dragonfruit block of the month from Fat Quarter Shop; 5) Figured out a good way to make I-Spy Placemats; 6) I figured out a scrappy bearclaw quilt block to use my leftover fabrics from the Dragonfruit block of the month; 7) Started working on a queen size paper pieced project called In a Pickle; 8) Made 42 penguin blocks for a king size quilt; 9) Finished a quilt top called Focus Pocus using Tula Pink Moongarden fabrics; 10) finished a quilt top called Sail by Thimble Blossoms. Back to regular posts next week. Have a nice weekend!
What's on the Quilting Frame? Kathy D's 2 patriotic quilts. Because these were smaller quilts, I was able to quilt them both together, using the same backing. We used a red, white, and blue thread called Freedom. Then we used the Modern Star quilting pattern.
What's on the Quilting Frame? Nancy D's Grandmother's Fans quilt. We used the quilting pattern Winding Feathers. Then, surprisingly, we used a variegated purple thread called Heather. We wanted to use a thread that would show up a little - but not overpower the quilt (as a red thread would have done). So we used this lovely purple and it turned out great.
What's on the Quilting Frame? Nancy D's Fussy Cut Flowers quilt. Fussy cut means that she precisely cut the flower fabric to fit perfectly within the quilt block. If you look at the quilting picture I've attached, you'll see the close up and see what I mean. We used the quilting pattern Bees 'n Swirls. Then we used a bright variegated thread called Cleopatra.
What's on the Quilting Frame? Nancy D's One Block Wonder Trellis quilt. Nancy chose the quilting pattern Bubbly. Then we used a Reed green thread.
What's on the Quilting Frame? Louise J's Strip Twist Quilt. This was a class by Sonflower Quilts and the pattern is by GE Designs. Louise chose the quilting pattern Large Spirals. Then we used a white thread, which looks great against all the colors in the quilt.
