A Quilt for Her Man

My friend had a request from her hubby for a quilt and she lost the umption for it… oh, a few years ago!  😦   We’ve all BTDT!!  This fall with our sewing group she pulled it out to work on while we were together & visiting.  Good idea!

We all thought it looked great and she redesigned it mid-stream which gave it new life!  Now it is finished! 🙂

Since one of the holders is friends with the recipient, he thought comedy was needed in the photo.  :eyeroll:  The narrow red border & scrappy outer border add a great touch to the center strippy blocks.

As her pieced back rolled onto the take-up bar, I gasped.  Stunning!  🙂  The backing is blocks of various red fabrics, framed with the Woolen Flannel she chose.  Fantastic!  (I am so going to find this fabric for backing something of my own.  Woolen Needle Flannel.  Thick, soft, & yummy!!)

Graduated Batiks

This quilt by E is for her son for Christmas.  I was thrilled to be able to help her and I had it done for her to pick-up the first of December.   The batiks she used were stunning and she has a good eye for color & design.

The quilt is 80″ x 100″ so I had a bit of a challenge to get a whole photo of it.  The holders were somewhat cooperative this night!

E chose an all-over swirl design and we used a lighter thread on the inner sections and a darker thread on the outer sections.
