"2nd Tradewinds" quilt by Betty

I didn't even realize until I went to save the photos that Betty had made this quilt before, but in much different colors.  This is for a family member who requested "grey" as her colors.  Very soft and elegant looking

These two photos are an attempt to show the quilting design, called "Wildwood"

 

"Zoomies" by Leigh

I called this quilt "Zoomies" after the quilting design of large and small loopy circles.  Much like when my dog spins in circles in play.  Usually on a bed, "remaking" it in his fashion.

Since this is Leigh's all hand appliqued in wool and so much fun to work with!

 

"Phoenix" by Michael

Sadly, the photos of this quilt don't do it justice.  The colors are much brighter in person.  It's flat out stunning!  Quilted with a design called "Freeform" and since it's Michael's it's paper pieced.

 

"Log Cabin variation" by Gerry

Gerry is such a sweet lady, always making quilts for fund raisers and this is no exception.  This will be a fundraiser for a no kill cat shelter, and all of the fabrics are cat themed prints.

So the quilting is a Baptist Fan design with animal paw prints in the the outer edge.  So cute and I can't wait to use it again.

 

9 patch and stars variation from Kristin

 Oh what a stunner!  I've commented on this before that when I am working on a quilt, I only see a small portion at a time.  Yes, it's very pretty, and I see the details.  Like how beautifully pieced this is, not a point cut off.  But then you hang it up and WOW! So very pretty.  This is a first quilt for me from Kristin, and I've got another going to my big machine very soon.  Can't wait to post it!

"It's what you do"

The name of this quilt came out of the idea that it's what you do when you find out that your friend's father has been diagnosed with Leukemia.  Orange is the ribbon color for Leukemia, so that's where that choice came from.  Simply half square triangles placed together in a pleasing manner.

Quilted with a simple rectangular panto.
