Denim and Corduroy and Upholstery - Oh My!



This quilt contains no quilting cotton on the front!  Karen used a mix of denim and corduroy and upholstery fabric instead.  When Karen asked if this would be suitable for me to longarm I said my Innova was definitely up for the task.


I found it interesting how Karen included some of the side seams in the squares.


Karen selected the Starry pantograph and Quilter's Dream Puff batting to keep things nice and light.

Eileen's Color Value Mystery



Eileen made this quilt as part of the Canuck Quilter's 2025 Color Value Mystery quilt along.  The pattern is now available for purchase under the name Evening Light.  


Eileen pulled all of the fabrics from her stash  (even the backing) and hoped for the best as you always have to do with a mystery quilt.  I think it all came together really well.


Eileen chose the Gingersanp pantograph.  The circles in the pantograph echo the circles in a few of her fabric prints and tie things together very nicely.


 

2 for Val


Val brought two quilts that were both mystery quilt alongs done with Melissa Marginet during covid times.  Both quilts are now available as stand alone patterns at www.melissamarginet.ca  


First up is Daisy Chain.  I love the lime green in Val's color palette.  Val chose the Fascination pantograph which adds some nice movement to the quilt top.


Val used the a few fabrics to pull together a coordinated quilt back making good use of the fabrics she had on hand.





The second quilt is called Linked.


Val chose the Flirtatious pantograph.  It reminds me of the flight path of all the dragonflies on her focal fabric.



And another resourceful quilt backing.  I love that it is planned yet scrappy.

Cat in the Hat




Tannis made this cheerful Dr. Suess quilt.  The free pattern was designed to be used with the Cat in the Hat fabric line from Robert Kaufman.


Tannis chose the Twister pantograph and I think is a very fun choice.  The bold red backing is a perfect fit.


I really love the border fabric on this one!



Kaleidoscope Stripes and Plaids

 


Deb made this fun quilt using the plaids and strips from the Allison Glass Kaleidoscope collection.    You will notice from the lack of snow on the ground in these photos that I haven't posted in a while and it is time to catch up.  It is a full winter wonderland here now!


Deb chose the Dazzle pantograph and as always it shows up so well on the Fireside backing.
