Margie's Quilts

Margie is a member of the Cabin Fever Guild in Port Townsend. She usually sits right across from me and surprised me by asking whether I could do these three quilts for her. Of course, I said yes.  These two were identical and she wanted them quilted the same. Both of these quilts were made from ties that belonged to her husband. The quilts were for his kids, if I'm remembering correctly.

I really love how she put these together; they're so different from the usual tie quilts.

Here are a close-up of each:

I did my usual Heatwave fill on both as she wanted them back quickly. Deciding on a thread color was challenging. It was certainly going to show up somewhere, especially since I really don't like to use monofilament. Luckily, I've gotten pretty good at this design.

This was the third quilt she gave me. Its pieced a bit differently and I really didn't want to do an allover on it. Margie gave me permission to play...so I did!

I played with feathers and continuous curve and lost myself in the quilting. I love putting feathers on quilts in more unique patterns.

Here's a couple shots of the back of this one.  The border of this quilt was more of the ties, btw.

I have no idea why this second photo is gray--the background was more taupe like above. However, the quilting shows nicely in this one, so I wanted to post it.

Thanks for looking!
