These quilts were fairly simple - - all straight seams. All were made from the pattern "The Big Block Quilt Pattern", designed by Minay Studios from Black Cat Creations. If interested in the pattern and you can't find it in your LQS, you can put the title in your internet search engine and find it on-line. They are supposed to finish 53" x 71" but mine varied a little. So, while I sewed a fairly straight line, my 1/4" seam was obviously not perfect. If interested, the quilt can also be made larger with additional borders (width) or blocks (length).

Your quilts are beautiful. I love the quilting on pic 4. Do you where I can get the quilting pattern?

Awesome - I love how each section is framed - really pulls together the whole thing.
And the quilting - oh my, that is spectacular! |
WOW! Look so great for such a simple pattern. It's the skinny sashing that makes it POP. Nice quilting, too! Thanks for sharing

Re. What is "Minkee"?
Difficult to explain. It is sort of like short pile fleece. Very textural and soft. Came in 60" width and can be expensive ($16/yard). However, I participated in a LQS scavenger hunt. The prize was 10 yards of fabric at each quilt shop for half price. When I claimed my prize at one quilt shop I purchased the Minkee fabric at half price so $8/yd. Minkee comes in smooth and different textures. If you google it on-line you could see pictures of the different textures. |

beautifu! i love the fall colored quilt. may i ask the design of the quilting you used, shown in the minkee?
|
I've heard Minkee is very hard to work with! Your quilting looks great on it. Did you do your own quilting? If so, do you quilt for others?
|
love them all, great job
|
Beautiful!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :D
|
Those are so pretty. I'm glad you showed a picture of the back with the quilting of minkee. I was wondering how that would turn out. I was leery about trying to quilt it because it stretches so much. Did you have a hard time with it at all?

I've been looking for something to make my DG a quilt. I have some fabric that's right up her alley, but I hate to cut it because it will ruin the pattern of the fabric. Thanks for posting it. I love your quilt!

I Love Them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
bopeep |
wow!

I do not do my own quilting - wish that I were talented in that way. A LQS quilted it with FMQ leaves. Someone else has responded re. how difficult/easy it is to quilt on Minkee. I do know that it was more difficult to put the binding on because my pressure foot wanted to slide off the edge. However, I feel that it was worth the effort because I love the Minkee on the back. I found that I just had to stitch slower than normal and have a firm grip on both sides (above and below the pressure foot) of the fabric to keep a consistent seam.
Opps, and I just noticed, the backing picture that I posted is for another quilt that I did with the same fabric on the front and the same Minkee backing. The third quilt was actually quilted with medium meandering. I will post that other quilt at another time. |
I love your tops! They are beautiful and I will have to find the pattern!
Thanks for sharing the pictures! |
They are all beautiful quilts. Got to put one of these on my bucket list. If I live to be 200, I won't finish it.
