Sometimes simple is best. Ashton’s instructions for this quilt – soft, puffy, no circles.
Quilter’s Dream Puff batting
So Fine #50 soft grey thread
Irregular soft vertical lines
Done.
While this photo doesn’t do the colors justice, you can see the fun blocks used to make this quilt.
Now, time to finish packing for Houston Quilt Festival!!!!
See you there!

Ann has created an awesome wall hanging featuring New York Beauty blocks. I had fun developing original quilting designs for this project. It will hang in an old Italian style house so I used Italian tile designs for my influence. Thanks to Pinterest, they were easy to find!
The batting is Quilter’s Dream Blend and Dream Puff layered together. Double batting gives lots of texture and allows the quilting detail to pop.
The thread is Superior Threads So Fine 50 in a color that matches the fabrics.
The back is a tea dyed muslin which shows off the quilting detail, too!
Here’s the link to my Pinterest board for Italian Design ideas. How do you think I did? Thanks for looking! Linda 🙂
Just a quick post to share this big quilt! Enjoy!

Marty gave me free reign to select a pantograph for her guitar quilt. I chose the pantograph called Splash. I love it for musical quilts, it just has that feel. When I pick a pantograph or designs for quilting, I pick something that creates a mood or expression instead of replicating the motif of the quilt. For example, I’m not going to stitch guitars on this quilt. For one, it’s very hard to see what the motif is after it’s quilted and I don’t want the viewer looking at the thread trying to figure out what’s stitched out. I want them to look at the whole quilt and say, “Wow, I love how that feels!”
The batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff which really shows off the quilting, and the thread is a new spool of red Superior OMNI!
The backing fabric is black, which is hard to photograph, but I wanted to show you the contrasting red thread used in the bobbin. It really works for this quilt. Marty loved the subtle heart detail created by the pantograph.
Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’ !

Bryan is one of my “guy” quilters! We’re using a neutral thread, Superior OMNI Buff, Quilter’s Dream Puff batting and a pantograph called “Lime Tree”
For a new quilter, Bryan is already a good sewer and takes the time to piece the back, too!
I was very excited when I saw Ginny’s quilt! I knew exactly what E2E freehand design I wanted to do and I was hoping she would agree to hot pink thread. I had just finished two large quilts where the thread got lost in the quilting. As I was quilting those, I was thinking that the next quilt is going to have hot pink thread so I could see it! And here comes Ginny with the perfect quilt!
The thread is Superior OMNI Petunia , the batting is Quilter’s Dream Puff and the E2E design is my Cockscomb meander. I will have to say the I lost the pink thread in some of the red fabrics, and I love the pink on the blue fabric.
Our college aged daughter will be home for a long Easter weekend, so I’m sure I’ll be doing laundry instead of blogging! Hope you have a great weekend, too!
Thanks for looking and just keep stitchin’ !
