Default Quilts for French Doors

This is one pair of quilts that I made for our French Doors.
(1) close up of one block shows the quilting in a decorative stitch.

(2) shows three rows quilted and joined to make on door quilt ready for binding.

(3) This is both quilts finished and haning at the bakc door of our entryway. The entryway is a long room through the middle of the house and has french doors with quilts on each end.

Thanks, they do help keep the house warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The fron of the room faces East so in the summer I keep the quilts pulled to keep the sun out, have the other ones open in the sun get to the west side. In the winter I leave the open until late afternoon and close the for the night.

The fabrics I used were my scraps from several project I had made over the years. They are all colors I love.

I like the look of your quilting stitches. I'm getting ready to make a shower curtain and think I will borrow this idea.
