Crossroads

This quilt was made by Grace for her daughter-in-law and she said the pattern was called Crossroads.  I couldn't find the exact pattern online, but it seems to me a modified piecing technique for a traditional block called Crossroads of Arkansas.  Grace's daughter in law chose the pattern and the fabric.  It is a biggie at 106" x 106"!

 

Grace chose the Peacock panto and it compliments the pattern in the orange fabric that is on the front and back beautifully.

Chevron

This fun chevron quilt belongs to Donna.  She wanted the quilting the soften the hard lines of the quilt design.  We decided on the "Peacock" pantograph.  Some of the red and orange fabrics almost look like flames and the Peacock panto is a little flamey too, but with a bit a femininity mixed in.  I used Quilter's Dream Puff batting and a caramel colored So Fine thread that didn't fight with any of the fabrics.

The leopard backing is a fun surprise that just adds to the charm of this quilt.  I think the recipient will be very happy on Christmas morning.
