Christmas quilts
4 Attachment(s)
I'm at work, waiting for a phone call, so I decided to go back thru my quilt pics. I made both of these in July, my annual Christmas in July projects. The first one is a disappearing 16 patch, I gave it to my youngest son and his family. The stack and whack went to my oldest son and his family. I've included a picture of the original fabric. I named it the world's ugliest Christmas fabric, but it sure made great snw stars. This was the first time I've made snw stars, I loved them, I'll be making more for sure!

Love them!!
|
very nicely done
|
Great quilts! Love the SNW!
|
As always, wonderful quilts! I agree, that Christmas fabric is... interesting!
|
Great quilts, and your SNW certainly isn't ugly fabric anymore :-)
|
Both are beautiful! You made a very pretty quilt from 'ugly' fabric!
|
Awesome quilts. Each is very unique and beautiful.
|
I love the beautiful colors on this snowy day!
|
Outstanding quilts. Your quilting is just spot on and the transformation of that fabric is amazing. Thanks for posting these, bound to inspire us to greater heights.
|
So impressive. I hope to attempt a SNW this year. (Keeping fingers crossed)
|
Beautiful job on both quilts but loved the first quilt, what makes it so appealing is the lattice-like sashing. Did you have a pattern for it? I'm looking for a interesting pattern to use with men's thrift-store shirts. For what I want to do, most patterns I've looked used too much sashing fabric that would take away from the shirt fabric.
|
Awesome work on both quilts. MAN you are good. I am sure that both sons love their quilts. Thanks for sharing. BrendaK

Beautiful job...............
|
Beautiful! And is some fancy quilting! :)
|
Both of your quilts are gorgeous. The quilting is exquisite. Did you long arm it or do this quilting on your DSM? Beautiful!!!
|
Love them both. That "ugly" fabric made a beautiful quilt.
|
Have that fabric too and am very glad to see how your stack and whack turned out.Will definitely give it a try.Thanks so much!
|
I do my own quilting on my Janome 6500 I love to quilt feathers in the borders, it's my favorite FMQ design.

I love your S & W and thank you so much for posting the original fabric. I want to do one, but can never figure out the fabric to buy. Seeing your fabric helps me to figure out what could work. And I sort of agree, that it is sort of ugly, but ugly ducklings turn into beautiful swans. :) and your quilt proves it. Great job.
|
Love S&W and yours is awesome. Love the setting and the way you highlighted the blocks. Fabric is pretty too and made a great quilt.
|
Wow. Those are beautiful!!!!
|
WOW!! Those are great and eye catching.
|
They're gorgeous! I don't think the fabric is ugly and it sure made a beautiful quilt. Also your quilting is stunning! I'm new to long arming and Im urning to learn feathers.
|
Both are very nice quilts and your quilting is wonderful!
|
Both are quite lovely...
|
Two awesome quilts!
|
Wow that is so very beautiful.
|
Beautiful work!
|
Very nicely done...love the SNW!
|
I love them both. I have never made a stack and whack and I love yours. You're right that fabric was pretty ugly but the stars are lovely. Thanks for sharing.
|
i LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THE STAR QUILT!!!!!!
|
I look for a new way to set Stack and Whack blocks. Yours is wonderful! Well done!:thumbup:

very nice quilts
|
I absolutely love the stack and whack.
|
They are both lovely quilts but that quilting takes them to a new level. You sure created something awesome from, shall we say a "questionable piece of fabric". Great job.
|
Beautiful. I love that first one. Let's see if I can find directions for a 16 DP. Do you do it the same as for a 4 or 6 DP?
|
Beautiful quilts.
