| "Froggy Antics" This little baby playmat/quilt is off to Essex to the daughter of hubby's best friend who is expecting her first baby in July. We stay with them when we are down that way on our holidays in UK. The pattern is from Laurie Bevan's book "Lickety-Split Quilts for Little Ones", on page 41. |

| "The Cat's Meow". I have put this one on before, when I was ready to quilt it. It was Pieced in 1999 as a mystery quilt from Traditonal Quiltworks magazine. It was by Debbie Caffrey. I finally quilted it this year so I could send it to one of my best friend's, sister and daughter as a gift. It will reside in Yorkshire. |
I made it in a class in 2008 that I was asked to go to by two different people as they were doing it too.
I quilted one of the other ones, but never got around to my own. I am going to do it in an allover pattern,
and hope it will look ok. One of the ladies that asked me to go, has a long arm too, and did an allover pattern and now Lucie the Happy Quilter is doing a Lone Star with an allover and it looks lovely, so here's hoping mine will look good.

| Dahlia Quilt. |
Susan.
Isn't Froggy Antics cute! Beautiful binding on that too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Dahlia Quilt - I bet you could do it in creams and yellows too - or oranges. No - that would be too much, I think. Maybe I will progress to this sort of complex piecing in the future. A lone star is in my wish list too!
I'd do an all over quilting too, as I don't think any part of it needs any extra emphasis. Although what would it look like with quilting from the centre radiating out, and a stipple on the cream background (if you see what I mean)?
Thanks Hazel, and yes it would look good with custom quilting, but I have so many quilts yet to "quilt", I think easy with some may make me feel I am achieving something. Lots of unfinished stuff is bugging me right now.
DeleteThese are both beautiful, Susan. :o)
