Four out of Five Quilts Finished -- One More to Go!

Purple Star quilt has been finished!

 This is a double bed sized quilt, the pattern is Garden Patch, and it has machine quilted feather wreaths in the light areas, and a flower/star design in the colored blocks.  Each border has a different design, a grid pattern, large meandering leaves, and a looping meander.

Number 5 left to finish!

Log Cabin Finished - Three out of Five!

Here is another in the series of 5 quilts I'm making for my uncle's mountain cabin.  I talked about this quilt top in another blog, Log Cabin Quilt Top -- this week I loaded it up on my frame and got it quilted!

I love feathers, so decided to quilt large feathers diagonally on the quilt - one set of feathers in each dark "row" and one set in each light "row".  I quilted narrow horizontal lines in the open background areas.

I really like the  look I got -- you can see it better in this closeup of the back.

I think this is one of my favorite quilts, and I didn't like it much when I started it, just goes to show, you never know what the end result might be!

Three done, two more to go!  I've really enjoyed these quilts, each is a different pattern and technique, and I used different machine quilting on each.

Scrappy Strip Quilt is Finished

The Scrappy Strip Quilt  is finished! Strip tube piecing was a new technique for me, I talked more about it in this post,   It was a great way to use up my scraps.

Because it was so scrappy, I didn't want to do a lot of complicated quilting, so I just did an allover stipple pattern.

 It's Quilt #2 of the five for my uncle.

Happy to be Quilting Again!

Finally getting some quilts finished - I am a happy quilter!

This Forest Quilt is quilt #1 of five quilts I've been asked to make for my uncle's cabin in the mountains.  I talked about it in an earlier blog, it was a challenge to piece, but quilting went really well, and I'm happy with the results.

I quilted a motif in the 9 patches with echo stitching, and curves and feathers in the solid squares, with a leaf and spiral border pattern

Here's a picture of the detail from the back.

My stretched Juki was in the shop for 2 1/2 months, and arrived home the day before we went on vacation, so now I'm  home and there's quilting to do, so gottta go!!
