Quincy Crazy Quilters Opportunity Quilt 2019

The Quincy Guild went wild this year with their Opportunity Quilt.  Its bright and beautiful!!

I love the bright colors against the black and white. I bet there will be a lot of men buying tickets for this one!

I did an allover with matching thread in each of the colored blocks and a wishbone design in the black/white areas with black/white variegated thread. Nothing much shows but the texture, which is fine with me.

The quilting doesn't show much on the back either, but isn't this the best backing for this top??? Don't look too long...its mesmerizing!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Ingrid's Wedding Quilt

This quilt wasn't for Ingrid, it was for her daughter (or maybe son--its been so long, I can't remember). Each block in this quilt is a specially made napkin from the wedding. They had so many, Ingrid decided to use a few and surprise them with a quilt.

These napkins were all made individually. The napkins just needed a little texture to tie them all together. I used a soft purple thread and modified my heatwave pattern to include some feathers.

I also added a special touch for the bride and groom--their names are quilted into the quilt. I love to do that on wedding quilts and kids' quilts. If you click on the pic below to enlarge it, you can actually see what I did.

Thanks for looking!

Margaret's Tranquil Quilt

I just love the colors in Margaret's quilt. These blues and greens together are just beautiful.

Here are a couple of close-ups. I did my go-to allover on this one as all it needed was some lovely texture.

Thanks for looking!!!!

Alaskan Puffin Quilt

Lyn sent this quilt up. Its the last of her Alaskan fabrics and has the cutest puffins on it.

She let me play with her quilt, so that's what I did! The border had some fun geometric designs in it with my "heatwave" pattern in the dark blue sashing.

The body of the quilt has feathers in the setting triangles, spiral linework in the corners and the dark, pieced squares, and more linework in the light colored squares.

And, finally, here's a shot of the back. You may have to click on this one and enlarge it to actually see the quilting.

Happy Quilting!

Carolyn's Mini Victory Quilt

I love this quilt. Carolyn does such beautiful work. I mailed it back to her, as I've done many times before, but this time someone stole the quilt from her mailbox. I couldn't believe it when Carolyn said she hadn't received it. My records showed it delivered--but that's as far as it got. From now on, all quilters with mailboxes will have their quilts delivered requiring a signature. This world makes me really sad sometimes.

This was such a fun quilt to work on. I used lots of gold thread to highlight the gold in the fabrics and then some black so that the gold wouldn't be overwhelming.

I'm including pictures of lots of the blocks. I did lots of little, tiny feathers, linework, and cc's in this one. Hope you have a cup of coffee in hand!

And a couple more of the back.  I love how it looks on the back almost more than the top!
