Elle's Batik Charms

 This quilt was made by a talented 11 year old!!!
Quilt Info:
Maker: Elleanore, with some help from her grandmother, Regina!
Fabrics: Batik charm packs
Size: 57" X 80"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton
Thread: Glide--Tar Heel
Pantograph: Eddie's Edge to Edge ⤵️ from Quiltable
Regina wanted swirly quilting. I used a pantograph unimaginatively named "Eddie's Edge to Edge". I think it should more appropriately be named "Cinnamon Roll Swirl"!!!
Interesting Info: Elle lives in Texas with her family. While staying with Grandma Regina last summer, she expressed interest in making her own quilt! She picked out some batik charm squares and was on her way!!! Elle will be visiting again soon, so Regina wanted to get it quilted with binding on, to present it to Elle in person!!!
The swirl theme of this quilt carries through in some of the batik patterns, the quilting and the backing, which I also used to bind the quilt with!!!
A quilt Ellie can snuggle under, enjoy and be very proud of!!!

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

  11. I am Regina, Elle's Mimi. I am so proud of Elle and how she finished this quilt. She loved using the charm pack and the wall board in trying to fit the colors together just so. To be honest, a little frustrated at times trying to keep those yellows far enough apart but she succeeded! She learned to keep the seams straight with the sashes and each square. I think sometimes sewing skips a generation because she uses her Mothers' sewing machine that was gathering cobwebs in the closet :) She really wants to stick with it which I love. Thank you Nancy for the wonderful longarming you did with 'cinnamon roll.'
