Finished the 3 quilt tops
1 Attachment(s)
A customer asked me to mke 3 quilts, as much alike as I could, for her 3 grandsons for Christmas. She liked this pattern but wanted it throw size, so I had o resize everything down to 59%, as the pattern was queen size. I still have to quilt and bind them, but I thought they came out cute. My delima now is the quilting pattern and what color thread????? Any thoughs from this fantastic QB?
|
I forgot to add that the pattern is "All Through th Woods" by C. Derksen and M. Harder.
|
They are great, I have the pattern in stash for the future. I would bind them in 3 different colors, so they would be individualized but other than that u r on you own, but please show when you finish. Love them.
|
Nice job!!!!
|
That is awesome!
|
love love love it!!!
|
It's a wonderful quilt and your more homespun fabrics are great in it.
|
Boy, that sure is cute!!! Nice job.
|
You have done a wonderful job, they are so cute. I love them.
|
Great job! As far as quilting, I am picturing these boys as being still rather young? Say 10yrs or so? If that is the case, I think I would go for an all over stipple in and around all the applique bits. As far as thread goes, what about a variegated in the same tones as the top?
|
I am sure they loved the quilts....what boy would not love this quilt............
|
It is beautiful, maybe some type of leaf or feather design.
|
You did a good job. So cute! Bet it would look good if you outlined it. I agree I would put different color binding 's. Love it.

I would go with varigated thread and heavy quilting (because they will be washed a lot). I would also put the binding on by machine. You can stipple, or go around the applique, or use loop-de-loops, etc. The quilts are so cute! The kids will love them!
|
I agree that a different binding for each would work as well as an all-over stipple (avoiding the applique). Great holiday quilts. Thanks for sharing. Let us see them once they're bound.

Thanks for all the nice compliments on he quilts. Yes, the boys are all under the age of 8.
Thanks for the quilting suggestions and or the bnding suggestions. This what I was thinking as well, but it's nice to have creative thoughts from friends as well. Thanks and Hugs to all. I'll be sue to post pics hen they are done. Drue |

I made this quilt in king size. It is a wonderful pattern, with so many manly things; it will grow with the boys.

These are just adorable! You did a beautiful job and they will love them.
|
Nice Job!! the boys will love it!
|
Really nice. I would outline the moose's horns and the beaver's tail with black. Now the quilting choice is up to you. Whatever you do will be wonderful.
|
What a remarkable quilt top! Can't wait to see it with the quilting. It's fabulous.
|
Wonderful job and thank you for sharing Have a Blessed day Ellen
|
I agree with some of the others, outline the applique & just do a stipple for the rest, bind in 3 difference colors for a little differences.
|
A lot of work but a super job. Lucky boys.
|
I see leaves and berries with a string of Christmas Lights for the quilting
They are beautiful |

You have been a busy girl!!! Lovely quilt!! I'm sure whatever you do the boys will absolutely love them!!!
|
very nice!! bind one in red, one green and one blue. I would quilt around applique
|
What a nice quilt - especially for boys. Love the colors.
|
You've probably already got plenty of suggestions but I'll go ahead and add my two cents. Watery ripples on the bottom; grass blades in the center; and clouds at the top. Very very cute quilt, great job.
|
Awesome work!!!!
|
You made not 1, but three of these??? That's amazing!
Those boys will love them forever!! :) |
You did a wonderful job !
