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.
Karen’s “Squares” quilt is perfect for the Gothic Vine pantograph. The scroll design of the pantograph compliments the architectural feel of the quilt. The batting is Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton select.
Joanie has made a quilt that perfectly displays the Dizzy Pantograph and Superior Threads King Tut 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.
Barb of Rainbows and Calico Things quilt shop makes great quilts! Her fabric selection is awesome! Check out her quilt shop online or in person. Here’s one of her latest dubbed “Summer Fruits”. The placement of the greens and pinks make a super canvas for fun quilting and variegated thread. I decided to quilt it with “back and forth” feathers using the blocks as guides which creates another pattern with the stitching. The borders are quilted with separate designs and the zig zag inner border is quilted with double back and forth feathers. The batting is Quilter’s Dream 100% cotton.
