Fern, Flower, Shamrock and More!

I have four inspiring client quilt to share today!

Quilt Info #1:

Maker: Lynn

Pattern: Dina from GE Designs

Size: 57" x 75"

Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton Request

Thread: Glide--Basil

Pantograph: New Zealand Koru ⤵️ from My Creative Stitches

Lynn made this for her friend, who was quite involved in the making of this quilt. Her friend picked out this quilt pattern from the 17 patterns in the Stripology Quickies book. Next she picked out the color palate from Lynn's collection. After Lynn made the blocks, her friend came over and arranged them all on the design wall, and Lynn did the final piecing.

Her friend wanted swirly quilting. The green in this quilt and on the Minky backing reminded me of ferns, so I used the  "New Zealand Koru" quilting. Koru is the Maori word meaning coil, and is symbolized as an unfurling fern frond. (The minky looks turquoise here ⤴️ but it is more sage.) 

A very cuddly, cute quilt!

Quilt Info #2:

Maker: Lori

Size: 40" x 40"

Batting: Fairfield 80/20

Thread: Glide--Cream

Pantograph: Baby Blue Eyes ⤵️ from My Creative Stitches

Lori made this adorable pixilated flower quilt for a granddaughter that is due later this year.

Lori has a tradition of making a baby quilt and a matching larger quilt for each grandchild. That way, when they outgrow their baby quilt they will have a familiar quilt for their first big bed. The larger quilt will be quilted later this month.

Lori picked this floral quilting, "Baby Blue Eyes" to go with the floral theme. Sweet!

Quilt Info #3:

Maker: Susan

Pattern: Suite Times from Easy Peasy 3-Yard Quilts by Fabric Cafe

Size: 49" x 62"

Batting: Warm & Natural

Thread: Glide--Black

Pantograph: Shamrocks ⤵️ from Intelligent Quilting

Another St. Patrick's quilt for Susan! That gold lame had me a bit nervous beforehand. But no problem--my machine quilted through it like butter!

Susan picked this green polar fleece for backing. The quilting shows up amazingly on polar fleece!

This pattern is from a 3-yard quilt book by Fabric Cafe.

Quilt Info #4:

Maker: Susan

Size: 60" x 84"

Batting: Warm & Natural

Thread: Glide--Marlin

Pantograph: Cow Poke ⤵️ from Intelligent Quilting

This quilt was inspired by Sheriff Woody from Toy Story and his cowhide vest! Therefore, Susan chose cowboy boots and cowboy hats for quilting.⤵️

For backing, Susan found some "cow hide" flannel in black and white. It's not brown and white, but it definitely works! 

This makes snuggly quilt number 4! 

Here's all four of them. Nice job quilters!!!

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
