Blue and Yellow #3

Posted on November 11, 2011 by Linda

Here’s Janann’s third blue, yellow and white quilt, a mystery quilt. Her friend Celia did the same quilt and I’m in the process of quilting that right now. Celia’s quilt stops at the yellow, Janann added the two borders to make the quilt a queen size. As you can see, it’s bigger than my hanging space!

For the scrappy blues we decided on a bead border and a small meander in the darker blue. For the inside borders I drafted a swirly nouveau feather design to fill the wide white to yellow area.

Just click on the pictures for a larger view.

The center of the quilt is a tear drop echo meander.

The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select and the thread is Superior OMNI.

Thanks for looking!

French Roses Plus!

French Roses Plus!

I was very excited to quilt Linzee’s adaption of the French Roses quilt. It’s great how she combined fabrics, added sashings and cornerstones. Look closely at the border,(click the picture for a larger view) the fabrics are randomly pieced adding the the scrappy feel.

I decided to add a floral spoke through the center to give a stamen feel to the flower. I’m excited to see the quilt after it’s washed and dried. The petal look should be enhanced.

The back shows the background meander around the flower motif. The batting is Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select. The thread is A & E Perma-Core and Superior So Fine #50.

Thanks for looking!

Blue and Yellow Quilt #2

Blue and Yellow Quilt #2

As promised here’s another blue, yellow and white quilt by Janann. Look familiar? It’s the same quilt with different borders as this one by Celia. Janann has also made another version, you can see it here.

I really like how Janann has controlled the yellow and white fabric placement in the blocks. Therefore, I decided not to quilt the yellow/white corners and four patches. Adds a nice dimension to the quilt.
