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.

 

2 For Eileen

Eileen made this darling Patchwork Heart baby quilt.  The pattern is from Brenda Ratiff from Just a Bit Frayed.

Eileen had a fun collection of fabrics with tone tone bears, so the Gummy Bears pantograph seemed like the perfect fit.  I can't remember the last time I stitched this one out!

Some fun blue thread and a cheerful backing make for a happy finish.

Eileen also made this finished up this Yellow Brick Road quilt.  The blocks were made years ago, but she never got them put into a top until recently.  The dark red inner border really make the top pop and ties the border fabric in so well.  This one got the Calder pantograph.

Crossweave

Deb made this lovely quilt for a co-worker who is retiring.  The pattern is called Crossweave from Diary of a Quilter - Amy Smart.  The fabric collection is called Nutmeg by Basic Grey for Moda.

Deb chose the Calder pantograph.  She added a beautiful navy flannel from Northcott to amp up the coziness.

 

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.

Scrappy Squares and more

Patrice brought this wonderfully scrappy quilt.  The squares are cut at 2" and I'm sure that although it is a lot of sewing, it didn't make a much of a dent in the scrap basket. 

I love that Patrice used an interesting color for the background, as we often reach for white or cream when beginning a scrappy project.

Patrice chose the Calder pantograph which looks great on the front and coordinating backing.

Joanne had been in visiting Patrice and she made this lovely pastel batik quilt.

She selected the Gingersnap pantograph.  I love the small pieced strip that was added to the backing.  It adds visual interest and helped add the extra width that was required.

Calder

Inez brought this great quilt for some simple quilting.  I love the diagonal movement that it has.  

When I took a look at the fabric prints there was one pantograph that immediately came to mind.  Inez agreed that Calder was the prefect choice and I was off to the races with this one.

White thread to match the top and a light green thread to match the backing.

 

Patrice's String Quilt and 2 more

 

Patrice brought three quilts that she made to donate to her favorite charity including this lovely string quilt.

Patrice requested the Quilter's Dream Puff batting for this one as the top was quite heavy because the the fabric foundation the blocks were pieced on.  She selected the Popcorn pantograph and we decided that this was the perfect opportunity to use a fun yellow thread.

The quilting show up great on the yellow and white striped sheet Patrice used for the backing.

The other two quilts were flannels in a Canadian theme.  We decided on the Calder pantograph for both of these.
