MaryJo's Framed Florals


MaryJo made this beautiful quilt with a large scale bold floral print.



The brown/grayish background fabric is really a 2-toned chambray woven in olive green and orange. So it has a very interesting color that changes slightly depending on the angle. 


I thought for sure I would use either an orange/gold or green thread on it, but I actually ended up going with a brown thread that blended the best. 




Thanks MaryJo!

Harley Davidson T-Shirt Quilt


Pat made this special Harley Davidson T-shirt quilt. I say special because this quilt is 2-sided! This here is the front side.



This shirt is my favorite. It's just so Iowa. :)






And this is the back! Just as nice as the front.


The quilting looks kinda funky from outlining the shirts on the front, but that's just how you gotta do it.




Thanks Pat!
