Some more quilts finished...

Aileen's quilt is made from flannel with a soft pinwhale cord backing. Quilted completely in the ditch with some radiating lines into the border to keep it simple. I was a bit worried about how the machine would handle the thickness of the cord backing but it was fine and the finished result is very cosy.






















This is the back of a flannel quilt I made for Bloss (and big sister moo has placed an order for one of her own) - ratty likes to help sew on the binding....

A busy week and Christmas in July

I've played 'quilter' for the last three days and now have three more customer quilts finished and delivered. #1 - made by Elsie for her son, it's a king size and I quilted concentric circles in each block and on the joins with a scroll border. I love the effect of the curves against the geometric bright colours. #2 - another of Elsie's quilts. Quilted with a meandering vine around the central blocks and a rolling feather border. #3 - Robin's vintage roses quilt, I used a pretty edge to edge tulip with a matching separate border. I always like to ditch quilt the first border to give them a solid frame.

Another one finished and delivered

Beris' granddaughter is the lucky girl who'll receive this gorgeous quilt. Such happy bright colours.

And this one was a bit tricky to quilt because the borders were a lot 'fuller' than the centre panel so I stippled the first and second border to pull it in a little. A nice result though....
