Wendy’s Fat Quarter Shuffle quilt is perfect for a very pretty pantograph by Linda Taylor called Feather Meander. It’s has lots of elements so the repeat of the pantograph is larger.
It doesn’t show up in this close up, but the thread is a brown to pink variegated, really compliments the quilt!
Candace of Double Nickel Quilt Challenge made two disappearing 9 patch quilts with different fabrics, for the first quilt I used the blocks to define the quilting design. See that post here. Hard to believe that it’s the same quilt! For this quilt we wanted to add fun overall texture. I used bright orange thread and quilted a square loops design.
It’s a fun and fast quilting design that will work with many different quilt tops. Give it a try!
When Celia brought me this quilt, I thought it looked familiar! Her friend Janann made the same quilt without borders which I had quilted earlier this year. Celia let me have free reign with this quilt and I created a design using the square in square elements of the set. And to complete the look, I used square feathers in the block design and the border braid design. The wool batting gives the quilt lots of movement and texture.
The back is awesome, too!
Just click on the pictures to open!
Stay tuned for another Block Party, Janann just brought me another one today!
My big purchase (not counting Superior Threads) at the AQS show in Des Moines was 600 1″ hexagon papers for English paper piecing! I’m going on a bus trip later this month and wanted to bring a hand sewing project. I plan to cut a bunch of 2 1/2″ squares to start the process of making a small hexagon quilt or table runner. When I got home from the show a birthday present was waiting for me from Wendy, one of my very good customers! A 4″ Gingher scissors! It’s a perfect take along scissor that is sharp enough to cut the corners of fabric and clip thread! I tried it out this weekend when we traveled to Luther College for parents weekend, sewing the little samples that Paper Pieces hands out at the show.
Here’s a link to the winning quilts from the Des Moines quilt show! Their pictures are better than mine. Now back to work!
