Skinny Stirps

Karen brought this lovely quilt that she made for her sister.  The base pattern is a free download from All People Quilt called Skinny Strips.  Karen always like to put her own twist on her quilts, so she enlarged the throw pattern to a queen size by adding the smaller sections along the edges.

Karen also likes to add something unique to the back of her quilts, and often adds some piecing.   This quilt has really become reversible with this interesting back.

Karen selected the Curl and Swirl pantograph for a pretty finish.

Gemini

I recently quilted the two variations of the Gemini Quilt pattern for Leslie at Keystone Modern Creative.  Kits are available for this pattern from Villa Rosa Designs.

On the version with the black background I selected the Raindrops pantograph.  I love the bold fireside backing colors on both of the quilts!

On the variation with the white background I chose the Curls and Swirls pantograph. It is amazing how the same blocks are transformed with a change in color and layout.

 

Deep Dive

Reneta made this "Deep Dive" quilt as part of Art East Quilt Company's mystery sew along for 2020/2021.  

Reneta's choice of the metallic ombre dot fabric for the creatures makes for such a happy and fun quilt.  I'm not sure which block is my favorite.  Reneta selected the Curl and Swirl pantogrpah that has just the right vibe for this one.

I love the message she added to the bottle!

 

Two for Christine

This cheerful quilt was made by Christine. She chose the Curl and Swirl pantogrpah for this one.

This fun arrows quilt was made as mystery project in her sewing group.  no waste in this one as the scraps from the arrows were used in the border!  Christine chose the popcorn pantograph for this one.

Christine found the a flannel backing that complemented the top perfectly.

Tony the Turtle

  

Reneta made these two darling baby quilts using the Tony the Turtle block from Elizabeth Hartman's Awesome Ocean pattern.  Both Reneta and I couldn't decide what quilting design idea we liked more so I decided to do them differently, one freehand and one with a panto.

The green turtle quilt was quilt freehand with a design I refer to as "Dwirling" that I learned from a book/video by the Pajama Quilter.  I love the addition of the lucky baby's name to the quilt top too.

For the blue turtle quilt, Reneta chose one of the new pantographs I just added to my collection and it is called "Curl and Swirl."

These are the eight new pantographs that I recently added to my collection.  I have also updated the pantograph page on my blog to include photos like these of all my pantographs that include a measuring tape across the bottom to help my clients get a better idea of the scale of the pantographs I have.
