Gift for new Grandma Julie

My daughter had her fellow teachers tie dye  squares to make two baby quilts for  friends.  I sandwiched and quilted them  this weekend.  My daughter wanted  only quilting in the ditch so that it would not compete with the tie dye design.  The quilts are unique and creative...............

A lap quilt, housewarming gift for our friends new lake cabin.   My friend wanted a simple pattern with greens, brown and tan.  This pattern is a traditional churn dash.   I did several different quilting designs. Here is the history of the churn dash pattern.

The name of this pattern is Delectable Mountains.   It was very challenging.  A minature quilt measuring 18 x 18.5 but so many seams which did not all line up as I had hoped.   My seam ripper got a good work out. Great use of my scraps. Each piece was 1"× 3".

This quilt pattern is called Flag It by Dorothy Ann Weld found in the Fons and Porter Magazine.  It was made with my darker scraps............I love black.  The outer border is pieced.  Straight line machine quilting, which is not very fun but seemed a better fit for this quilt.  

Heart Blossoms by Thimbleberries.  You can't tell but the fabric has gold outlines around the berries.

Moda collection "Let it Glow" made in Japan.  A gift for our dear friends, Janet and Tom.
