Wedding Bands,  Stellar Quilts

 

In honor of our 22 wedding anniversary today, I’m sharing Wedding Bands!  The quilt pattern can be found in Judy Martin’s book, Stellar Quilts.

It’s a big one!  Much bigger than my hanging space and the space at the Williamsburg Quilt show, where it’s on display this weekend.

My friend and co-worker, Candra, perfectly pieced this quilt and had every intention of hand quilting it for her client.

I was very honored that she entrusted me to quilt it similar to the quilting design in Judy Martin’s book.  Candra added additional borders to the quilt, giving me space to extend the quilting theme of ghosted blocks surrounded by feathers.  I thoroughly enjoyed quilting this but after having it on the frame for 2 1/2 weeks, I took a break!

The thread is a matching So Fine! #50 in each area.  The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select.  Enjoy the pictures and thanks for looking!

Design Wall Monday – A New Plan

Design Wall Monday – A New Plan

Nine Patch and Solids - On Point version

 

A big thank you to Rainbows and Calico Things quilt shop for a fun summer retreat reunion weekend!  One of the benefits of spending time with fellow quilters is brainstorming and exchanging ideas.

That resulted in my plan to change this nine patch and solid  WIP to an on point layout.  I’m going back to the drawing board, pulling more fabrics to make additional nine patches and looking for a possible border fabric.

I like it!

Thanks!  🙂 Linda
