Another big one! For a fairly new quilter, Kate’s tackled a big project with this block of the month quilt. I love the 30’s fabrics! The batting is Quilter’s Dream Wool which is great for creating definition and texture. It was a dream to quilt, too. Here’s a few detail pics for you! 
Thanks for looking! Linda 🙂
Retreats are fun! I worked on several projects including my current Postage Stamp quilt called “Dancing Nines”. I’m almost to the half way point, 22 more blocks to go! One block is the 4 nine patches with the off-set sashing strips, measuring 11 inches finished. Check out Quiltville if you want to make your own. I also finished 3 scrappy coiled bowls! 
The first two were random scrappy batiks and the last was controlled scrappy. Jane’s Convergent Quilt is gone! Jane was at our retreat and I gifted her one of the bowls using the fabric from her quilt lesson. She couldn’t believe that I cut it up! Now, I’m looking at my batiks remnants with purpose! Of course, any fabric would work, but the batiks wrap easily and fray less. When I get caught up on longarm quilting, I will be sewing more coiled bowls! Check out Judy at Patchwork Times for other Design Wall Monday projects! Thanks! Linda 🙂
Quilting retreat that is! Starting tonight is Rainbows and Calico Things annual Winter retreat. I have been going to this retreat since 2002, only missing a couple years when our youngest had show choir competitions. If time allows, I’ll be posting antics and pictures on my Facebook page! Hope you’re quilting this weekend, too! 🙂 Linda
Look familiar? When you have the fabric, keep making quilts! I thought she was doing random piecing but Ashton used a pattern called “Fiddlesticks“. This is another example of a quilt that I want to make!
Like her previous quilt, we used Quilter’s Dream Puff batting and simple undulating lines for the quilting.
The backing is flannel, nice. This is going to be a soft, cuddly quilt for her mom!
I can’t believe we’re one week into the new year! Do you have a long list of quilting resolutions? My list is always the same – Finish, Finish, Finish! So, I started the year quilting one of my own quilts, yay! It’s a secret until I give it away, stay tuned.
What’s on the top of your list for 2014?
🙂 Linda
