I needed a couple of quilt models for a lecture I
was giving recently.
I needed them FAST! (the lecture was a week away....)
I grabbed some fat 1/4's and went to work.
I needed a masculine quilt and a feminine quilt.
They worked up speedy quick and were so fun!
I would seriously make a bunch of them to have on hand.
Her instructions were so easy to follow (they always are), she's so smart!
Here are a few photos of them:
This is the "boy" one....I used some of my Cotton & Steel prints with a Denyse Schmidt orange print.
I used fat 1/4's from my stash for this pretty girl one.
I had a small chunk of this flannel backing in my stash.
I wish I had a bolt of it!
For the back of the girly one I had a pretty piece of fleece in my stash, so this on is a little fluffier.
They are so cute, side by side, on my neighbors
garage door.
It was a beautiful day in Montana - so I grabbed my camera & took advantage of the sunshine.
(Can you see the antelope watching up on the hill?)
I love these wagons on Danette's property.
Thank you, Danette, for letting me take advantage of your beautiful property for photos.
I quilted straight lines & long loops on the boy quilt.
The girl quilt got pretty all-over flowers and loops.
Thank you, Allison, for such a fun pattern.
I'll certainly be making more of this one!
"Woven" - saved the day!
So cute. I've made Boardwalk and Basket Weave multiple times...this will be a new one to try. Your work is so beautiful. I'm glad that I can see you quilting so well :)
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with woven type patterns lately and this is a fun one. I bet you constantly look at quilting designs now - I get that!
ReplyDeleteI just need to transfer the looking skills into machine skills. I need to get onto the longarm more often too....winter should be a good time for lots of practice.
DeleteAh, so much fun! I love fun quilts!! And I like that you used fleece for the backing on one of them. Did you do anything different (than normal cotton or Minky) to quilt it?
ReplyDeleteI didn't do anything different with the fleece on the back - it's really easy to quilt through.
DeleteI am in LOVE with your fabric choices and your quilting. These are even so much better than my originals LOL!
ReplyDeleteI don't know about that, but, these were so dang fun to make! It's fun grabbing fat 1/4's for a sweet little quilt - thanks!
Deleteloving this one, Kathy o!!!!
ReplyDeleteRight? They were SO fun to make. I might make 4 the same and turn it in to one large quilt - the fabric choices are endless!
