Patrice's Crumb Quilts

Patrice made two great scrappy quilts in an effort to work through her scraps and stash.  She tells me it doesn't feel like these made much of a dent.

Crumb blocks are a great way to use up all those odds and ends.  We added the Soho pantograph which is a pantograph in my collection that seems to look great on almost anything.

I love the bold red and blue background fabrics on this one.

The second has a totally different feel with the grey background and fun green backing.

We added Patrice's favorite Gingersnap pantograph and So Fine #515 Patio Green thread on this one that played nicely with all of the fabrics.

Starburst

Patrice made this stunning quilt using just two fabrics.  Simple HSTs create this layout like magic.

Patrice knew she wanted the Swirly Star pantograph and I was happy to oblige.

Patrice made great use of her leftovers and a bit of coordinating fabric to piece together this fun backing.

Shylyte's Dinosaurs

Shylyte made this great quilt for a friend's grandson.  It used a wonderful dinosaur themed fabric collection called Paleo Tales from Northcott Fabrics.  Shylyte started with the Quiltasaurus Rex pattern from Kathy K. Wylie but quickly made it her own changing things to suir her taste.

Shylyte selected the Calder pantograph and it shows up so well on the rich blue cuddle backing.

 

Two for Tina

Tina brought two fun quilts.  The first is the wolf quilt featuring fabrics from the Wild at Heart line from Northcott fabrics.  The pattern is called Family Album and was designed the The Sweet Tea Girls and is designed for 24" wide panels.

Tina selected the Breath of the gods pantograph for a simple finish that does not take away from the graphic on the panel.  It was bound by Marion and ready to be used and loved.

The second quilt is perfect for the chocolate lover.  Tina chose the Cinnamon Swirl pantograph which looks fabulous on the cuddle backing.

We found the perfect thread that is a bit hard to describe - purpley brown?  It is Superior's So Fine #527 Piazza Plum.   I love having access to my huge thread collection for times like this!

Once again bound by Marion and ready to be loved.

Reneta's Nautical Sampler

This wonderful quilt belongs to Reneta.  The blocks are from the Nautical collection by Sandra Healy Designs.  Reneta and some friends participated in a Queen Bee swap.  They take turns picking and making blocks for each other.

Everyone added some really cool fabrics to their blocks.  Reneta pieced it all together and grounded the whole thing with some lovely navy sashing.  Then it was my turn.  Reneta chose the London Fog pantograph.

Reneta added a cozy black Stonehenge flannel for the backing.

Fancy Forest x 2

I believe these are the 7th and 8th Fancy Forest quilts that I have quilted for Reneta.  She really doesn't tire of making this pattern!  Each one is unique based on the the background Reneta chooses and the fabrics she pulls from her stash to make the animals.

The request to me is always the same - woodgrain quilting.  I am always happy to oblige as it is really one of my favorite patterns to freehand quilt and I think it looks great on these quilts.

  I love the fuzzy ears Reneta added to the bunnies with some leftover Cuddle fabric!

Don't Put Baby In the Corner

Madeline made this super cozy quilt out of a collection of Mammoth Flannels.  The pattern is called Don't Put Baby in the Corner by Fabriculous.

Madeline chose the Dazzle pantograph and added a nice charcoal Stonehnege flannel on the back.  We added the black Quilters Dream Midnight poly batting to help keep any lint down to a minimum.
