More Quilts!

Not much to report this week, Quilting is going slow, I am still having problems with being dizzy but it does seem to be getting better. I have started another Ami and it would Be finished if I could find my darn Brown yarn! I only need a small amount of it and I know I have more than enough here if I could just find the darn stuff! I’ll probably just pick up a new skein tomorrow, which means I will find the one I already know I have, as soon as I get home!
On to the quilts!The first is a Blue Star Made by Sue G. Nothing to fancy on the quilting for this one personally I didn’t think it need it but I must say the fern on the outer border took more time and way more thread than I expected! I used a continuous curve (CC) in the star, a single wavy in the sashing and a swirl in the second print border. I used a dark blue thread that matched the darker color of the quilt and the backing.

Second we have a Drunkards Path made by PJ C. This time I went with a light blue thread to match the light fabric as that was were the quilting was going to be. A simple stipple in the blue and some piano keys for the border.PJ did a great job on this quilt, nice and straight and all the rounds were stitched down, yes I did have one of these quilts were the quilt maker decided that the applique parts didn;t needed stitched after all they were iron in place with that sticky stuff, that will hold just fine right?! Well when I saw that quilt a few weeks later the maker was try to find a way to salvage it as the rounds were coming undone, go figure huh?!

Oh the Drunkards Path… such style, such grace, beautiful lines, and the one quilt I hate to have to quilt! Why? I don’t know why but darn it it always seems like it takes me forever to get one finished! It doesn’t but I feels like it does! I have such a hard time deciding how to quilt the main body and then when it comes to the borders I am almost always at a loss. If any one out there has any suggestions or tips about this quilt please let me know!

And finally we have a Shoo Fly quilt made by Theresa N. She used a cute Humming Bird border print and I didn’t want to mess with that fabric to much so I used the lines in the print to do some faux Stitch in the Ditch, this held everything in place and didn’t interrupt with the print of the fabric print. Some C.C. in the block with a little bit of a loop to stitch it up a bit and a single wave in the sashing.I used a cream thread on this one, as it went best with every color in the fabrics.
