I've missed so much here on this site. I tried to touch base every now and then. Anyway, I finally got my granddaughter's quilt finished at about 3 months of trying to get to it. I have 3 more projects that I need to and then I need to make Christmas gifts. I should have started in January.
This is a disappearing 9 patch, cotton fabric and backing, warm & white batting with an extra layer of high loft polyester. I used So Fine thread on top and Bottom Line in the bobbin. Hope you like. Hope she likes it too.

She wanted the stars a loops quilting design but I just had to do something else with the border. She's not a foofy girl so feathers were out.

Thank you ALL for your very nice comments.

Quilt4U Thank you, thank you
Loretta: Thank you. It's poofy but still a little stiff. It will need a few washing to loosen that baby up. I prefer them with that old feeling

that is absolutely stunning! I love it!

katier825 10-05-2009 05:22 PM

Awesome! I love how you did her name! :)

thimblebug6000 10-05-2009 05:48 PM

It's gorgeous! But I'm wondering what you mean by this?
"warm & white batting with an extra layer of high loft polyester"
Do you mean you laid down the warm & white & then the high loft on top of that while you were sandwiching your quilt?

such a sew and sew 10-05-2009 05:54 PM

beatiful quilt. was wondering if extra poly batting is for warmth or for puffy hearts? looks very comfy and cuddly.

wvdek 10-05-2009 06:13 PM

Very pretty and the quilting is wonderful.

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 10-05-2009 06:23 PM

jacquemoe,

Your quilt is beautiful and I love it. Should have a Grandmother like you to make me beautiful quilts.

Answer to your question............Both. I've been wanting to try two battings to see just how wam and puffy it would turn out. IMHO, some quilts look nice all puffy. I'm pleased with the puffiness in this case.

Yes. I did exactly that.......two battings. I wanted the puffiness on the top so I laid the hi loft under the quilt top and the W & W next to the backing.

Harmony 10-06-2009 06:57 AM

The blue is so lovely and soft! I love you you did her name, and the border with the hearts is beautiful! She's a lucky little girl to have a grandma with your talents--I'll bet she can plan on being the recipient of many gorgeous quilts in the future!

jamsbuying 10-06-2009 06:59 AM

Beautiful quilt. Love the colors. Great label!

RedGarnet222 10-06-2009 07:22 AM

Hi Jaquemoe,

I am glad to see you back Jacque. I love seeing your work. This one is just beautiful. I have a soft spot for the hearts on quilts. I know she is going to cherish it. You did good grandma!

dunster 10-06-2009 07:44 AM

The quilt looks so soft and lovely, perfect for a little girl.

Debbie1 10-06-2009 08:25 AM

Another beautiful one! I'm sure she will love it. And your quilting, WOW! Welcome back!

Shemjo 10-06-2009 08:29 AM

Very nice! Love all the quilting, and I was glad you said it was a bit stiff until it gets some launderings. I always wondered about that with the close machine quilting.
I live all the stuff I learn here on the board. :lol:
