Garden Party

All I can say is Wow with this one.  Syndey made this amazing Garden Party quilt from none other than Bonnie Hunter.  There is an amazing amount of piecing that goes into this one, but no triangles.

The red border and accents really make this a standout.  There are so many unique fabrics to look at!

Sydney chose the Glamorous pantograph and I love how the all over feather design just floats across the quilt top.  We used a pretty pink thread - So Fine #462 Aster.

The floral backing fabric that Sydney provided had just the right mix of colours to compliment the top.

I can't say that I could see myself tackling something like this anytime soon, but I sure enjoyed having it come for a visit!  Are you up for a scrappy challenge like this?

Scrappy Mountain Majesties

Sydney brought this wonderful Scrappy Mountain Majesties quilt for some finishing. Bonnie Hunter offers a free tutorial here.  The limited palette of greens and creams makes for a very relaxing quilt.

Sydney chose the Bora Bora pantograph which is a great design on so many different quilts.

 

My Canada Home Quarter

Caron made this fantastic quilt using the My Canada collection from Northcott.  The pattern is Home Quarter from Highway 10 Designs and is a relaxing make using Fat Quarters.

Caron selected the Maple Syrup pantograph to continue the theme.  You can't see much of it on the front with the wide variety of prints, but it sure looks great on the grey Fireside backing.

Broken Herringbone

 

Bridy made this great quilt using the "From Far and Wide" fabric collection from Kate and Birdie.  This truly Canadian collection is really interesting in a non traditional colour palette.  This pattern is Broken Herringbone from Violet Craft. 

Bridy chose the Maple Syrup pantograph which fits the theme perfectly.  Bridy treated herself to more fabric from the collection for the quilt back and the pantograph shows up really well there.

Love Stinks & A Cute Koala

Becky made this darling quilt from the Love Stinks pattern from Art East Quilt Company.  She selected the Heartstrings pantograph to continue the theme.

Susan brought this cute koala baby quilt over for some quilting.  The pattern is from the Quilting Daily Patch Pals collection and is called Aussie Patch.

Susan left the quilting choice up to me and I thought the leaves of the Novaya Zhihn pantograph were a nice compliment.

Disappearing Nine Patch

Becky brought this lovely Disappearing Nine Patch that she said she was keeping for herself.

I'm not sure which fabric collection this was but the lovely navy, teal and white with a pop of yellow is just so pretty.

Becky chose the Love Those Curls pantograph for a nice simple finish.  I lovely the pretty floral print that she selected for the backing as well.

Heavy Metal

Marion was very resourceful in making this quilt.  Marion bought the centre Stonehenge Heavy Metal panel by Northcott, and for the majority of the rest of the quilt, Marion used a friend's leftovers that had made a number of quilts from this fabric line.  No specific pattern, just a lot of creativity.

Marion asked for simple quilting, and I suggested my freehand topographic meander.  It added a nice  texture and kept the manly feel of the quilt that Marion was going for.
