Pat's Leaf Row Quilt

This is Pat's Leaf Row Quilt and it is the fifth one I have had the pleasure of quilting.  With Pat's fabric choices I decided to do some custom quilting,

I tried to highlight the blocks with some simple design elements and repeat them over the quilt to pull the whole thing together.

I love stitching out the "fat leaf" design in the sashing strips.  I used a variety of background fills just for fun.

A really beautiful quilt, great job Pat!

 We have had some strong winds lately that took out branches and trees in the area as you can see in the background here.

Man About Town

Cheri made this quilt out of Northcott's "Man About Town" Flannel collection.  The quality of Northcott's flannel is second to none making this a luxurious quilt. 

The pattern Cheri used is called Double Slice.  It uses a layer cake and you can see the tutorial here.

We decided on Quilter's Dream Midnight Poly Batting to keep it nice and light (and prevent any potential bearding through the back), a mossy green So Fine thread and the Fascination panto for a nice all over texture.

I am also excited to show you row 4 of the mystery row quilt I am participating in.  

A little more paper piecing for these Aspen leaves.  I decided to keep this row a little less scrappy than the last.  I used only two fabrics in each leaf, but the large color variation in the batik print gives the illusion of more.

 I am really loving how the rows look together.  Can't wait for the next set of instructions in early May!
