Last of the Egg Money Quilts

Yep...this one was it. The last of the Egg Money quilts; I think I've done four or maybe five of them now. The most challenging part is making sure that they don't all look the same. I'm quite pleased with how this one turned out and so is Lyn. Its a big quilt and I took a lot of pictures, so you might want to get a cup of coffee and enjoy the show.  Rather than just showing one or two, I'm going to post the majority of them--hope you like it as much as I do!

My ceiling isn't very tall; this quilt really drug on the floor.

Next...the individual blocks: (Remember, you can click on a block for a close-up view)

And finally, the front and back of the different border treatments.

Hope you enjoyed the show!!!

Quincy Crazy Quilters BOM 2011

Marei finished her BOM some time ago and sent it to me for quilting. I love the colors she chose; it makes me want to get busy and finish mine!

As with this quilt and most BOMs, its a sampler. Marei added sashing and cornerstones to really offset the blocks. She's going to use it as a table cloth...can you imagine?  I'd use it as a table cloth as long as no one even thought of eating on it!! Its way too pretty for that.

I did something different with this quilt at Marei's request. She wanted an allover pattern. Initially, it was to be a panto, but I really don't like doing pantos. So after some conversations back and forth, I did my version of a panto...what do you think?? I found it really fun to just quilt along with no worries about blocks or sashings!

From the Right Coast

This gorgeous quilt came to me all the way wfrom South Carolina!!  Imagine that...I certainly felt honored.

I met Joyce the first time I attended an Empty Spools session at Asilomar three years ago. She and I were in the same class taught by Janet Fogg. A few months back, she e-mailed to see if I'd like to quilt one of her quilts since she "liked the way I do samplers." Silly question!! Of course I wanted to quilt her quilt.

She sent it out and here are a few pictures of the blocks after quilting.

Here are two more, both front and back views:

And one last one that shows the swags in the border.

Can you tell I had fun with this quilt? Remember, for a closer look at any of these pics just click on them.
