Blue and Green Lilly Pulitzer

Jessica brought me a laundry basket of quilts to work on. First up is this blue and green Lilly Pulitzer quilt she made for one of her clients.

I had a bit of fullness in the border to contend with. Never fear! She had two layers of batting to help out, and with the right quilting design, all will be well.

I went with a serpentine design (a page out of Angela Walter's book Shape by Shape) and every so often filled a spot in with a row of pebbles.

Love the little bit of pizzazz the black cornerstones add.

The rest of the quilt was treated with all-over designs of paisleys and circles. Super simple, because the real star of the show here is the fun beachy bright prints.

The back. Ooh la la!

Thanks Jess!

Becki's Tiny Tumblers

Holy Scraps! Becki made this super scrappy quilt with little bitty tumblers that she rotary cut individually. I'm going to say each one is about 1.5-2 inches in size.

That's a lot of pieces!

I kept it pretty simple with the quilting, just some paisley swirls.

Thanks Becki! Love this quilt!

 

Two Christmas Dresdens

Pat made two of these Christmas dresden plate table toppers. 

holly leaves, curls, berries

I custom quilted feathers and curls in the blades.

For the second one, mostly the same, only a different outer border.

The backside.

Thanks Pat!

Pat's Blue Log Cabin

Pat made this small log cabin quilt in wintery blues.

I custom quilted some half feathers and loops in the borders.

I decided it would look best to use a blue and a white thread in each area.

I quilted all-over swirlies and circles.

A look at the back.

Thanks Pat!

 

Diane's Pineapple

Diane made this super fun pineapple quilt in batiks.

I had fun custom quilting it a bit. 

Leafy feathers in the top.

A super swirly feather and circles in the background, and a funky feather in the border.

I did a fun clamshell series in the pineapple part.

Thanks Diane for this fun one!
