Marilyn’s Batik quilt
After seeing this quilt by Marilyn, I developed my quilting design called “back and forth feathers” and quilted it on several other quilts, Marty’s, Drew and Abby’s, and Rainbows‘ first, before Marilyn brought hers to me for quilting.
Update: The pattern for this quilt is “Do The Twist” by This & That.
The quilting uses the blocks as guidelines creating secondary designs. It’s a feather design with a modern twist. The blocks in Marilyn’s quilt are much larger that the other quilts but the designs still works.
The pieced back is awesome! This quilt could be reversible!
How do you know if it’s a longarm quilter? Because they are always showing their backs!
The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly and the thread is Superior Threads So Fine #50.

UFO Art
This is a group project with 2 of my quilting friends. It’s my turn to work on it. After tripping over it a few times, I hung it on the wall in my sewing room. Instant art! I like it! My daughter has claimed it when it’s finished so someday I’ll get back to working on it. What about your UFO’s? Where are they lurking? How many do you have? I have lots! I should get them out of hiding!

Decided to join the Quilting Board! Wow, lots of people on that! I think I could spend the whole day there! But alas, there is work to be done. Hope you’re all having a good stitching weekend!
