As a longarm quilter, I appreciate 108" backing!⤵️
Quilt Info #3:

Batting: Warm & Natural
Thread: Glide--Aqua

Susan picked this joyful quilting to match the joyful, playful attitude of an otter!!!⤴️⤵️
The same 108" wide backing for both these panel quilts⤵️--makes a longarm quilter happy!
This is one of many free panel quilt patterns found at eQuilter! Susan is the panel quilt queen!!!
Quilt Info #4:

Backing: Minkee

Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Request

This quilting design looks great on any quilt, especially quilts for guys. With the open squares, it's also great on minkee backed quilts!!!
These cute woodland animals are playing horns, harps, carrying lanterns and singing!!!
Minkee back and binding! I simply trimmed the backing 1 1/2" from the edge of the quilt, folded over twice and stitched from the front. 
Recap!!!⤵️ Thanks for stopping by!!!

  1. Your baby quilts are really pretty, and the panel quilts are so cute! The Minkee backing looks great, especially with your quilting. I've never sewn with Minkee and am kind of nervous about it, afraid the Minkee will bunch up in the back while I quilt on the front. Any tips?

  3. Such great quilts, Nancy! I love the Bento Box baby quilt, and your Ebb Tide, too. Those are really pretty fabrics. I'm always interested to see what people do with panels, too. These are fun!

  5. I love your two quilts and the folded over binding is a great way to go. The quilting designs are perfect on all the quilts! I am glad you are a fan of 108" backing. I buy it alot and get two quilts and sometimes more out it. I need to settle on a minky brand that is good...have used it some and really like it.

  7. I recognized Ebb Tide right away. It was one I made for the Villa Rosa blog hop earlier this year. Your fabric selections show it off so well.

  8. Four absolutely beautiful quilts! I love your Bento Box and Ebb Tide versions. Super cute panels, and your quilting is gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing, and linking up.

  9. The key to the block quilt is fabric selection. Love how you didn't go with a cute baby print. Instead chose something dramatic and high contrast, perfect for newborn's eyes. You do have a way of selecting the best motifs for a quilt. The spiderweb pantograph looks like bat wings. Most appropriate.

  10. All are simply lovely! But that otter one is the cutest.

  11. Love the baby quilt you made! The swirl Minky on the back is perfect, and is one I would never consider using on a quilt because of needing to domestic machine quilt it! I'd only ever have a skilled longarmer quilt Minky. You do it beautifully!

  12. Cute finishes and perfect panto choices for the quilting! That otter is super cute; but, your baby quilt and the "extras" was my favorite!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects

  13. What fun that the Minkee backed quilts have Minkee binding!

  14. Always works of art on your blog. Ebb Tide seems like a great one for Novelty prints. Or big florals would be good too I think..Sometime, prints are too good to cut into small pieces. And some fabrice are too ugly to not cut into small pieces. Places for all..Anyway, I like Ebb Tide and Big Block Bento Box. The panel quilts are always fun too.

  15. Oh, what a great new baby quilt and gift set! Susan's quilts were also great (love that Otter panel!!) and really like all the pantos chosen. I more respect every day for the powers of a good long armer like you!

  17. I love your baby gift. The quilt checks all the boxes for me. Easy and super fast! Thanks for sharing in my Sew & Tell party.

  18. I bet those minky backings are soft. Do you pre-wash them? Do you have any problem with lint build-up while quilting them? I've been reluctant to use minky because I'm worried about damaging my long arm.

  19. As always, a wonderful selection of quilts. They are all special.
    But I must say that I am quite taken by your Bento Box quilt. Gorgeous fabrics and the design suits so well.
    And I love that pantograph - Ba Da Bing _ on one of the other quilts. That is stunning.
    Amazing quilts!
