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.

 

Harry Potter

Any Harry Potter fans out there? Madeline found this collection of Harry Potter themed fabrics and put together a simple but effective quilt to show them off with out chopping them up into unrecognizable bits.

Madeline chose the Starry pantograph for a perfect finish.

This epic quilt was made by Reneta. The entire design is made up of individual squares.   All of the squares in this quilt finish at 1" and there are more than 7300 of them!!!  She purchased the kit from Mad about Patchwork that includes a layout guide by Nichole Dunigan.  (The kit is even on sale right now if you need to add an epic project to your list.)

Reneta had been working on this quilt for awhile and the last time I purchased some new pantogrpah I spotted the  Benay's Starry pantograph from Beany Girl Designs which I thought might be just perfect for this quilt.  Reneta agreed and I do love how it looks.

Picking thread for quilts with such large contrasts in colour is always a bit head scratching.  We decided to go with the sky blue that matched the centre of the quilt and found that it really wasn't too distracting across the rest of the quilt.

Enjoy the rest of the photos that show off all the characters and piecing that are part of this quilt.
