Danielle's quilts & shakers!

Danielle, who lives in Colorado, was on a sampler kick!
Here are two quilts using the same pattern but completely different fabrics:
 
 
 These prints are darling!
A little girl picking apples...
 
 
A little boy and his guitar...
 
 
I quilted an all-over clam shell in the center and cross-hatched the checked border.
 
 
This one is made with pretty Christmas prints.
 
 
I quilted swirls in the center and orange peeled the outer checkered border.
 
 
Then Danielle adds this very modern quilt!
 
 
Each block was different.  She wanted me to use a variegated primary colored thread...perfect!
 
 
I quilted double bubbles in the sashing and single waves in each block.
 
 
 Do you LOVE this backing?
 
 
Then she sends me these darling Pyrex salt & pepper shakers!
 
 
Thank you, Danielle. 
 It's always fun quilting for you...and, I love my shakers!

  1. Could you ask Danielle what the fabric name is for the backing? It is beautiful!

    1. Will look to see if I can find any info on it. I purchased the fabric at The Quilt Basket in Tucson Arizona - not that long ago so they might still have it. Danielle

  4. Wow! Love these quilts, especially the bright, modern one with the variegated stitching. I've never seen that and I love seeing new ideas like that. What a sweetie to send you the shakers!
