Leo’s Jungle Safari quilt

Leo’s Jungle Safari quilt

 

Isn’t this a great quilt for a little guy?  This was a quilt I was able to get done this week for Wendy.  Leo came along to pick out the pantograph and thread when it was dropped off for LAQ, so it wasn’t a surprise but he was very excited to hear it was ready to pick up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leo picked out Fern Meander for the pantograph. I love how it adds movement and texture like jungle leaves.

 

 

 

 

He also picked out  rust Signature cotton thread which matched the rust inner border adding some contrast to the other fabrics and a little zing!

 

 

The batting is Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select.

 

Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Connie’s Twister Quilt

Connie’s Twister Quilt

Don’t you love the modern colors for this twister quilt?  And Connie used the leftover squares to make the small twister border!  That’s a nice feature of using the twister tool.  Connie wanted minimal quilting that featured the twister pattern,  She also selected a darker plain backing fabric so the quilting would show on the back. I designed a tessellating pattern running through the large twisters and a smaller version for the borders.  The cream background is a small loop meander.

I love the secondary pattern this is created and evident from the back.  This will make a fun reversible quilt!

The batting is Quilter’s Dream Wool which is great for accentuating quilting!

The top thread is Superior OMNI, light tan and the bobbin thread is Superior So Fine #50 Teepee.  By using darker thread in bobbin the thread color was subtle against the orange fabric.  The lighter top thread was perfect for the background and twister fabric without having to change thread colors.

Still have a couple of quilts to post before I finish for the year and then on to 2012!

Thanks for looking!
