Square in Square Quilt

Janice made this fall themed Square in Square quilt using blocks she received in a block swap. They are 12" square pieced on a foundation paper which is a great way to do a swap as all the blocks end up the same size! She asked for fall coloured fabrics and gave the center fabric to each participant.  

I quilted it with the Whirlygig pantograph as it is a swirly leaf design.  I used beige So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

Deco Quilt #2

Gail pieced this modern Deco Quilt, pattern by Lo & Behold Stitchery.  She pulled fabrics from her stash and bought the blue Northcott Crackle for the background. The designs really shines with the colourful background. 

We decided on Arrowful for the pantograph design as it has a modern feel and gives a wavy flow across the quilt.  The design lined up perfectly with the piecing so the quilting designs land on the same spots across the blocks.  Love it when that happens. I used a blue So Fine thread and she brought a Warm and Natural batting. 

This quilt looks so good against the clear blue sky.  I still can't believe we do not have snow yet, just very frosty each morning.

 

Matrix Quilt

Angele piece this pretty Matrix quilt, pattern by GE Designs.  The kit for this quilt is currently available on GE Designs website, link here. 

I quilted it with the Ginger Snap pantograph, used dark purple So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.

Angele brought a fun backing for this quilt too.  The fabric is called The Paper Curator for Michael Miller Fabrics.

Garden Star Quilt

Lori pieced this lovely Garden Star quilt, pattern by Nancy Rink.  There are still kit available from Connecting Threads for this quilt.

Exploding Heart Quilt

Nancy made this fun and bold Exploding Heart quilt, pattern by Slice of Pi.  She used batik fabrics in jewel tone colours and a solid back background.

I quilted it with the Tickle pantograph, used charcoal So Fine thread and Quilters Dream poly black batting.

Nancy brought a wide backing by Henry Glass Fabrics called Radiance.

This is the first time I have gone to the lighthouse for quilt pictures since early spring.  It was flooding out this summer so nice to get back to my favorite photo spot.

 

This was the Rainy River in June.  The lighthouse was an island! 

Petal Junction in Kaffe Fassett

Bev made a wonderful King sized version of our Highway 10 Designs Petal Junction quilt using Kaffe Fassett fabrics.  The large bold prints are perfect for this pattern as the blocks are 15". She used a solid periwinkle background to highlight the prints.

I quilted it with the Popcorn pantograph as it has a swirly flowery feel.  Thread was a purple So Fine and batting Quilters Dream Blend.

Dragon Dreams Quilts

Kim made this fun kids quilt using a pattern called Dragon Dreams by Apples and Beavers.  She actually made two, one for each of her grandsons.

I quilted them with the Ombre pantograph as it gives the look of fire because we all know dragons breath fire!

I used light beige So Fine thread and Quilters Dream blend batting.  Kim brought a lovely grey Fireside for the backing and left if all in one long piece so I could load the backing once and just add the second quilt to the same backing to save time.

 

Blazing Star Quilt

Linda pieced this lovely Blazing Star quilt which I found out was a 2017 BOM project by Nancy McNally for Craftsy.  I did find a site that was still selling the kit, click here. 

I quilted it with the Windswept pantograph, used beige So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting.
