Susan creates the most amazing quilt designs from scraps, and this is no exception. Abigail is a new baby in her life, and her grandparents have a "Catio", so Susan started with a cat fabric. Then continued the theme with the "Double Diamond Cats" panto. Darling!
Two from Ellen
First we have one we have simply called "Holiday". Made with solids, but as you can see below, one small Christmas print. Quilted with a design of Holly Berries.
"Dogs and Bones" is so sweet! I love how there is no "right side up" to the quilt, And the backing fabric with all those cute puppies is perfect!
"Icy Waters" by Robin
"One inch strings" by me
The backing is also pieced from multiple fabrics.I had a collection of flannel squares that I had serged together into several small potential quilt tops or backings, but changed my mind. Stitched them all together to make the backing nearly large enough, then had to add a couple of pieces of found pieces of flannel from mom to make it large enough. The only thing in this quilt that is not leftovers from another project is the batting!
Donated to a police officer who has someone in her life who has recently started a medical treatment and will gift this to that person. I felt badly that they are getting such a funky quilt and not a "nice" one, but I hope that this will bring them some comfort.
"Work in Progress" from Ann
Ann contacted me about quilting another quilt for her, and then gifted this one to me! It is all hand pieced, and has some extra fullness in most of the Dresden plates. I found these two pieces of the same fabric in a recent section and noticed that these are the only two pieces found so far that are machine pieced. After thinking about this for some time, I realized that they were probably made form purchased clothing. These could be the yoke from the back of a shirt. Either way, clearly our unknown piecer used up what they had at hand.
"Pokemon" by Betty for a great nephew
Where Betty finds her patterns is beyond me, but I love what she does with them. This is for a great nephew, and since neither of us know anything about Pokemon, she let me choose the quilting design. I opted for a modern Asian weave design. Hope that he likes it too!
Cats in Cups by Michael
Tree of LIfe for Ann
This is the "Sister quilt" to the Dresden Plate quilt top that Ann gave me. Pieced by the same maker, and all done by hand. Amazing!
It's no wonder there were some friendly bits on this quilt with all of those bias edges that were pieced by hand! Still, Ann seemed pleased with the end result.
