  2. Does Bonnie live close? I love her quilts and especially that first one. What are the fabrics for that one? The second one is rather breathtaking - those bright pretty colors! The swirls are perfection.

  6. Lovely quilts again! That baby quilt pattern works so well with so many fabrics. Gorgeous swirls.
    The colours in the runner are very appealing. More lovely swirls.
    I haven't checked in for a while to see how everything is going at your place?

  7. The swirls look great on both of those, Nancy! I love the bears on both sides of Bonnie's baby quilt and the pretty rich color in the runner. Sweet projects!

  10. I often ponder whether to echo piecing lines or contrast. The swirls and square contrast works very well.

  15. Looking good! I'm a fan of swirls too, especially when the lovely curves contrast nicely on an angular-pieced quilt top. I just quilted similar swirls on a scrappy donation quilt, though my swirls are definitely not as uniformly perfect as yours are. I think it's wonderful that you and your sister share a love of quilting. That's precious.

  16. Bonnie’s quilts are so lovely. I immediately recognized Honey Bouquet and love that you used Basic Swirl on both quilts. The mini yellow brick road is a great one to remember. It is a nice use of scraps from a quilt.

  17. Both are nice. I like the reddish/teal one just a bit more. Is it a table runner? Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
