More Catching Up!

 Ready to see some more wonderful quilts now that I have resurfaced after my summer break?

First up in this fantastic Pineapple quilt made by Anne.  The bright batiks were a great choice for this quilt.

Anne and her niece chose the Terrace pantograph.  The beautiful turquoise backing was the perfect compliment to the front.

Monica made this King size quilt - it is hard to get a sense of the size from a photo but it was 110' x 110"  There are so many interesting fabrics that you get to appreciate in the simple layout.  The Calder pantograph added just the right amount of quilting.

Monica opted to have her quilt bound by my associate Marion  so it was ready to enjoy on her bed when it arrived home.

I'm not sure how many of the Grinch quilts that Becky has made to date - at least 4?  Her friends and colleagues keep wanting one for themselves and she keeps finding more panels to make it happen.  Becky loves the Snow Winds pantograph to finish these and I am happy to oblige!

Val made this t-shirt quilt for a family friend.  She did a great job of making all the different sized logos work into a unified and organized piece.

The Raindrops pantograph added a simple quilting pattern that allowed the t-shirts to remain the star of the show.

Patrice made two quilts with fabrics from the Imperial Garden collection from a few years back.  We used the Clamflower pantograph and a shiny grey thread that read very similar to metallic silver in the fabrics.

Patrice didn't let any of the fabric go to waste and pieced a back for one of the quilts.

Last but not least is this Homestead Star pattern made by Megan.  The kit is still available from Keystone Modern Creative when I checked earlier today.  Megan asked for turquoise thread and selected the Sweet Pea pantograph.  I really like the print on the backing fabric.

Karen's String Quilt

Karen was busy working through her scraps and made this wonderful string quilt.

Not only did Karen add a lovely pieced border, but she also added some piecing to her backing for some added interest.

Karen selected the Clam Flower pantograph which I don't get to use very often.  We used green/oatmeal/gold thread color both top and bottom which added a little something extra to the back.

Sweet Bunnies & A Bonus Quilt

I have two quilts to share today.  The first is a sweet baby quilt Reneta made using a single charm pack and and some leftover bits of this and that.  The bunny is from the Delightful Dessert pattern by Elizabeth Hartman.  The layout was inspired by this one made by Elm Street Quilts.  The hearts and bunny tails are pink minkee which just adds to the cuteness!

Reneta selected the Pieces of My Heart pantograph and my hardest job was selecting a thread color.  I ended up with a medium/dark green that didn't look too bold on the bunnies, but still looked nice on the charm squares.

The second quilt of the day was made by Christine.  This entire top was made from leftovers from a quilt kit she finished years ago. 

Christine selected the Clamflower pantograph which suits all of the Oriental fabrics in the top.

We decided to use the Quilter's Dream black poly batting as the top was quite dark and the back was a black flannel.

It is always amazing what can be made from "scraps."
