Another cute baby quilt, this one has a modern touch and was made by Mary. The pantograph we chose, Taj Mahal, is very close to the shapes in the outer border fabric which made it perfect for this project. It adds texture but stays in the background, and the quilting is on the lighter side which keeps the quilt soft and cuddly.
This darling little quilt was made by Barb as a baby shower gift. Isn’t that little guy just the cutest? The hearts scattered across the top made choosing a pantograph easy, this design is called “Signed, Sealed, Delivered”.
This lovely modern quilt was made by Amanda. “Eclectic Elements” is the name of the Free Spirit fabric line designed by Tim Holtz that she used for her project. Amanda asked for an overall swirly design, and “Wild Wind” worked well with her quilt.
Debra made this colourful collection of I Spy quilts as gifts for her grandchildren. She collected suitable fabrics for several years and even bought some assortments on eBay until she had enough to make five quilts. Each of the quilts has a different border colour, so they can’t be mixed up. All five were quilted with the pantograph “Wild Wind”.
Dianne made this space-themed quilt as a gift for her grandson. Stars and the moon were a perfect choice for quilting her project, and we chose the pantograph “Starry Night”. I just modified the moon a bit, the original pattern has the crescent moon with a face which looks great on baby quilt but isn’t really suitable for older boys. But it was easy enough to just quilt a curve instead of the face outline, and we were both quite happy with the result.
Jean made two of these quilts that she calls “Posies in the Forest”. Both of them look very similar, using the same layout and fabrics. But Jean made her four patch blocks using the “Stack and Whack” technique, and every block ended up being a different kaleidoscope of flowers. The pantograph she chose is called “Ground Cover” and goes well with the forest theme of her quilts.
Mary helped her two teenage granddaughters to make these quilts, using the Jelly Roll Race pattern. They each picked a jelly roll in their favourite colours, and after finishing the tops they also picked the quilting designs for their quilts. One of them chose “Wandering Daisies”, the other one “Ginger Flower”. They both did an excellent job, and I hope they enjoyed working on their quilts as much as I loved quilting them.
Wow, where did last week go? It just flew by, and suddenly it was over, and I hadn’t even found the time to post anything. With all these activities cancelled and everybody staying home and sewing, I am quite busy quilting all day long. Here is another beautiful customer quilt. This modern chevron quilt was made by Kathy. She used Kaffe Fassett fabrics and a grey background to show them off. The pantograph “Fantasy Flames” was a great choice for this modern project.
This colourful Hunter’s Star quilt is another one of Ginger’s projects. Don’t you just love looking at quilts until you see the secondary pattern emerge? It didn’t need a lot of quilting, a simple swirly design like “Wild Wind” finished the quilt perfectly.
Janet made this quilt as a gift for her granddaughter. The young lady requested grey fabrics and a modern design, and the pantograph “Bauhaus” finished it off perfectly.
