3 Dina Quilts

Lynn has been busy making gift quilts. She streamlined the process a bit by making them all the same pattern.
Quilt Info #1:
Maker: Lynn
Pattern: Dina by GE Designs
Size: 57" x 74"
Batting: Quilters Dream 80/20
Thread: Glide--Mango
Pantograph: Honeycomb with Bees ⤵️ from My Creative Stitches
Is this the cutest fabric in the world, or what?! 
One of the prints includes hexagons and another includes bumble bees. ⤵️ "Honeycomb With Bees" was the perfect quilting choice. 
The same pantograph can be quilted without bees, so it's fun when a quilt comes along where I can quilt it WITH bees.
I prefer to take quilt photos outdoors in the natural light, but it's been very snowy or wet, as in melting snow, recently.
Quilt Info #2:
Maker: Lynn
Pattern: Dina by GE Designs
Size: 67" x 93"
Batting: Quilters Dream 80/20
Thread: Glide--Thyme
Pantograph: Beetle Mania ⤵️ from Intelligent Quilting
Is this a cool quilt or what?! For a young man who owns a green Volkswagen Beetle.
It may be hard to see, but there are 3 different VW Beetle prints in this quilt--white background, tan background and green background. Lynn ordered these unique prints from Spoonflower.
Lynn also looked around and found this Beetle Mania pantograph--so fun!
This is for a tall guy, therefore Lynn made it 93" long. Besides the 3 VW prints, she used a bunch of blenders.
Quilt Info #3:
Maker: Lynn
Pattern: Dina by GE Designs
Size: 57" x 73"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Request
Thread: Glide--Cornflower
Pantograph: Sun Gears ⤵️ from Sew Shabby Pantos
This one is for a guy who loves the ocean. He requested a sunny, beachy quilt.
"Sun Gears" is the name of this quilting and makes for a very sunshiny quilt. I typically use a color of thread that blends in. But in this case, I went with contrasting yellow, because sunshine is bright yellow, right?!
Interesting fact--I used the same color of yellow thread in the bobbin. You absolutely can not tell--the thread sinks right into Minkee. ⤵️
This group of prints includes, crabs, lobsters, sea turtles, starfish, dolphins, sea horses, tropical fish, waves, seaweed, water bubbles, plus blenders.
I love the yellow accent Lynn chose--definitely makes this a sunny, beachy quilt.
Great job, Lynn!!! These quilts will be loved!
