To finish Ellen’s quilt we selected the Hibiscus Pantograph and Quilter’s Dream Wool Batting. The thread is a Superior Threads King Tut variegated, which looks great in person but doesn’t really show up in this photo!
The back shows off the pattern.
Thanks for looking! :)Linda
I’ve been so busy sewing postage stamp and great granny blocks, I’m behind on posting customer quilts!
Marty’s quilt is truly reversible! For this, we decided an E2E design to compliment both sides. And because I would not be able to see the grey thread, I picked the Waterworld pantograph for the quilting design.
Here’s the back view and it looks great, too!
After quilting it, I might even like the reverse side better than the front! What do you think?
Do you make reversible quilts?
Thanks for looking! 🙂 Linda
I posted my finished quilt on the Quilting Board and had several people ask for the pattern. Well, much to my surprise, I found the pattern on the RJR website!
So, here’s the link to the pattern! The pattern has been removed, sorry!
The original quilt is at the Michigan State University Museum and the pattern includes several pages of historical information about the quilt maker, Laura May Clarke.
This picture from the RJR website more accurately represents the color. For some reason, my camera doesn’t like purple! I trimmed the squares on the outside edges, the original quilter did not!
A big thanks to RJR for posting the pattern online for me to find 10 years later! I originally purchased this pattern in 2002!!!
Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! 🙂 Linda
Celia designed an awesome quilt for her guild’s red and white challenge. I was honored to partner with her to quilt it.
We decided to keep the red and white theme and stitch red thread on the red fabric and white thread on the white fabric. The white fabric is Fairy Frost and Superior Threads Bottom Line Silver was the best thread for it! It melted into the fabric, perfect!
She made the backing large enough to add 4 pillows, which I used to audition the designs!
Enjoy the pics!
The batting is Heirloom wool which really enhances the quilting, especially on the back. I did use red thread in the bobbin for the red areas and it creates it’s own design.
Thanks for looking! 🙂 Linda
The designing is done and it’s all sewn together! And then I realized that I really like how it looks rotated.
I found some extra-wide white on white fabric in my stash so now all I need is to find some time to quilt it!
Check out Judy at Patchwork Times for other Design Wall Monday projects.
Thanks for looking! 🙂 Linda
