Quincy Crazy Quilters' Raffle Quilt

I feel so fortunate that the Quincy Crazy Quilters continue to trust me with their raffle quilts. This is the one for 2019 that will be won in September 2020. Hopefully, things will be more normal by then and they'll be able to draw the winning ticket at a meeting. *Fingers crossed*

This year's quilt is a wild one! Look at all those bright colors.  They seem to do fun, bright, and wild one year and then traditional the next (I've already gotten a sneap peak at the 2020 quilt).


Because this quilt had so much color, I did a simple design in the blocks using a matching thread color. These designs were repeated in the blocks with the wishbone design in the solid areas between.


Thanks for looking!

Penny's Log Cabin

This quilt came from another of my regular customers, Penny. She always seems to send me fun projects to work on. When I first started quilting, I really wanted to make a log cabin quilt. Its been over ten years and I still haven't done it; however, I do still have the special ruler I bought (complete with the tags), in case it ever happens!! I think the fabrics Penny chose were perfect for a log cabin; super traditional.



I tried to play a bit in the quilting. I'm not sure how much will show up here, but I did lines in the red bits and other fun designs in the cream.





You may need to click on the individual pics for a better look at the quilting. Below is a shot of the back; I love how she included an orphan block.


With any luck (and a huge dose of perseverance), I will finish blogging all of my 2019 quilts today. Then I'll only be behind four months worth of quilts. Not bad for me!

Thanks for looking!
