Candy has done another great quilt with a new twist on the disappearing nine patch. Check out her blog for a mini tutorial. The Kaffe Fassett fabrics are great for every type of quilting however we decided an overall would be best and I used one of the big flowers in the fabric as inspiration for a new meander design called Cockscomb meander. The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select and the thread is Superior Threads King Tut Joseph’s Coat variegated thread.
This quilt is awesome and the quilt maker is a senior in high school! Obviously, this is not her first quilt! For me, it was an adventure to design the quilting. Shelby likes Hobbs Heirloom Wool Batting which is great for showing off the quilting designs. I decided to make something different for each element of the quilt to emphasize the sampler aspect of the quilt. My granddaughter even got involved in doodling out some designs! I think she’ll be sewing and quilting soon! Enjoy the pictures and hopefully Shelby will keep sewing after she goes to college this fall.
Linda created a beautiful bed size quilt featuring multiple elements making it very fun to design quilting motifs for. As usual the back reveals more of the quilting than the front.
