I have been really bad at posting customer quilting lately, but to be honest i have a really good reasons! First off, you can only look at so many t-shirt quilts and Irish Chains before you go nuts, and i have quilted a lot of them lately! Anyway here are some of this past weeks machine quilting work!
First up is a quilt i actually quilted a couple months ago. i wanted to wait until Dolores picked it up before i posted any photos of it. The quilting isn’t fancy, pretty basic actually, but it turned out pretty good. i am not sure of the name for this scrappy quilt, so if any of you know please tell me!
Next up are a couple of quilts made by Mary S. Now Mary hasn’t seen these in person yet, she will be picking them up Monday so i am not sure how she lies them yet. i always worry until the customer see there quilt first hand. The first one is made with LARGE Drunkards Path blocks, all in Batiks even the back! i used variegated thread top and bottom and Mary sent a low loft polyester batting so it has a little puff but not much. I am really happy with the border on this quilt, it was a new border design for me and i think it was perfect for this quilt. It just didn’t scream feathering, but i wanted something different. I quilted a spine then did a fern type feather on one side of the spine then a swirl on the other side. The blocks themselves are quilted with a curved design or swirls with a simple up & down straight line background quilting. Yap, I Really love how this one turned out!
Mary’s second quilt, I have been calling it Bricks & Squares is a new quilt pattern for me. I’m not sure of the name, or even if it might possibly be a original design? Anyway I used a dark brick red thread for all the quilting, swirls for the borders and some fills in the pieces block that kind of went along with the fabric designs. This one turned out pretty good to but i still love her batik quit!
The last quilt i will be sharing was made by Connie S. It was made for i gift for her son who is coming home for a visit this upcoming Thanksgiving Holiday. It is a Snowball Star pattern and i used Hobb’s 80/20 batting with Mother Goose color thread. This is, i believe, Connie’s 2nd quilt. She is doing pretty darn good on her piecing and her pressing is just perfect! And lets talk a bit about here wonderful flat borders! Its always great to have a quilt that I don’t have to worry about Easing in a waving borders! Great work Connie!
Ok, that is for sharing this week, hope you have enjoyed the little show! There is at least one close up photo of each of the above quilts in my November 2009 Customer Quilting Webshots Album!

I just sold one of these tops, on my blog. It goes by the names llight and dark or sunshine and shadow in the book key to 1000 quilt patterns. I also know that over on Quilterscache.com it is called the depression block. I made my top from nickels that I had from several exchanges.
Your quilting looks great!
Thanks for the info Diane! its always great to have the correct name to go along with the quilt!
