Hi Everyone, I just thought I'd share a couple of my quilt tops with you....they were a lot of fun....
The first is my sunflower quilt - I used Maywood fabrics from their Full Sun collection - I love that collection.....and I did a kind of sampler quilt - just making blocks that I liked and putting them together in my own little design..it was a riot to do........this quilt top is about 60 x 80..not just have to find a long arm quilter and this this one completed........ The second one is a 1930's repro. pinwheel block that I received in the birthday block exchange on the Garden Forum - been doing that exchange for the last 3-4 years now - and love it - these are my 2009 blocks that I received....I am so pleased with the way that it turned out - I used 3 other blocks to do a table runner top - and still have a couple left over to put in throw pillows...... This quilt top is about 50 x 70...I am not sure if I should add more borders and make it bigger or should I stop there and make it a throw quilt..what do you all think..I would love your ideas.... I thought that a soft yellow wss what these blocks were asking for to be joined together...I do have a wonderful 1930's repro for the backing - something different.....but now I'm thinking of perhaps a different softer back - nothing too colorful..I haven't decided on that yet..... [ATTACH=CONFIG]66393[/ATTACH] All of the prints are from the FULL SUN collection from MAYWOOD.....I love this line..... [ATTACH=CONFIG]67005[/ATTACH] Sunflowers were fussy cut for each of the focus squares. [ATTACH=CONFIG]67110[/ATTACH] This collecton had a large stripe/border print which I cut and turned into my sunflower border.

Hi Joyce,
Thanks...I had a blast with these...I have a couple of others - will have to take photos of them another time...these are the last couple that I did.... Now working on a smaller project - a wall hanging or dollquilt... Bill |
The blue in the photos of the first quilt top are too bright - the actual color of the blue is a more soft blue......not that bright.....
|
Cool! Nice to know that you actually quilt ;)
I love them both! |
Heh BK.......
Thanks....Yes, Quiting is actually my favourite pasttime - if I could eat fabric - I would... :-) I got all of this love of sewing and quilting for my dear Grandmother, Irene.....I'm the only one in the family that picked up her love of sewing and creativity.... |
Fabric probably doesn't have as many calories as food. Maybe that would be a good new diet!

They look super! Fabric has lots of fiber, but zero calories. :lol:
