Celia’s Red/White Challenge – Christmas Star

Posted on by
Celia’s Red/White Challenge – Christmas Star

 

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.

Design Wall Monday – Chevron Quilt

 

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!

The July PSQ Charm Swap Begins

The July PSQ Charm Swap Begins

 

It’s charm swap time again!  Here’s the link to Mary at The Curious Quilter for all the info you need!

My pic shows 10 blocks complete but as of today I have 20 blocks finished.  Each block contains 64 – 2″ charms and is 12″ finished.  I’m planning to make a queen size quilt with no sashing and no borders so… I’ll need 56 blocks or 3,584 charms with no repeats!!  And that’s what’s so amazing about swapping!  For the last swap, I received 700 charms, none of them were the same!!!

If you’ve ever wanted to try a Postage Stamp Quilt, now is the time to start!  Check out Mary at The Curious Quilter for information, pictures and ideas!

This is my design for In The Bag ~ Ugly Fabric Quilt Challenge.

I’ve had it on the wall for most of the week and I still like it!  It reminds me of a picnic tablecloth.  I hope I can find the right fabric for the backing in my stash, too.

Thanks for all your earlier comments when I was deciding!  I appreciate them.

Have a happy and safe 4th of July to all of you Americans celebrating a day off in the middle of the week!
