Mosaic Quilt

On this beautiful mosaic quilt I quilted a loose geometric meander.

It looks really cool with the geometric pattern of the quilt blocks.

I used white colored thread.

Allons-y!

I am a nerd. And I love Doctor Who. Especially the 10th Doctor (David Tennant). So, one day when the shop was closed and I ended up spending the day at home with the kids, I decided to make a quick little project to hang by my front door. Yep, there it is. And guess what? I quilted it on my home machine (and oh my gosh was it a pain in the butt!). I also machine bound it. Please pay no attention to the awful machine binding job I did. I really just wanted it to be done. hehehe

There are currently plans in the works to make a better version of this using the longarm. I'm excited about this. My husband? Not so much. haha

Chevron Quilt

Chevrons are the it-thing, and that's good because I LOVE them! This quilt is so fun and I had a blast quilting it.

In the pink setting triangles I quilted small circles in varying sizes. Then, in the pink and blue chevron stripes I quilted a large feather.

In the orange/red chevron strips I echoed the seam 1/4 inch inside, and then quilted a back and forth vertical line design.

Here's a view of the back. You can kind of see the difference in quilting between each strip (you might have to click on the photo to make it larger in order to see, but trust me, it's there!) :)

Wood Grain Flannel

This flannel quilt was so much fun to quilt. It was for a young man from his mother. She left the quilting design up to me. I didn't want to do something typical, like a meander, or stars, or loops. In Angela Walter's book she shows you how to do a wood grain and I thought, "How cool would that look on this masculine flannel?" So I went for it. And it turned out so amazing!

I threw in some knots every once in a while to give the design a little interest. The whole quilt is quilted in the grain, even over the borders.

Here's a closer look at one of the blocks.

And here's the back of the quilt: MINKEE! :)

Flag Quilt

This flag quilt is so fun. I love the different designs in each of the flags.

I quilted a loose wishbone design in the black border. In the background of the quilt I quilted an all-over, tight meander. And then I stitched in the ditch around each of the flags and did a vertical line design inside.

It gave the quilt some great texture and variety, especially on the back. I love that my client pieced this fun strip of color down the back center.

Cowgirl Pin-ups

I love this cowgirl quilt! The cowgirl pin-ups are so fun!

I quilted an all-over design across the quilt center with loops, stars, horse shoes, cacti, and cowboy boots. Then in the black sashing around the pin-up blocks I quilted a lasso design. I outlined the pin-up and did a loose meander in the background.

In the border I quilted it to look like a wood grain. It ended up looking really cool and giving the quilt some awesome texture.

Christmas Sampler Quilt

This fun Christmas sampler was sent to be my the same lady who sent me the wonky star quilt (see yesterday's blog post).

She wanted a custom quilt job, but she didn't want tight quilting either. To achieve this I did a loose figure 8 in the sashing. In each of the blocks I did a Christmas-themed design while keeping the quilting loose.

In the wonky stars blocks I quilted a loose loop in the background and stitched in the ditch around the star. In the outer border I quilted a large holly leaf.

This is the view of the back of the quilt. She pieced a block in the center and appliqued on the recipient's first initial.
