A modern sampler quilt

How cool is this quilt.  Elisha was very happy to take up the challenge of the sampler quilt, enjoying the different patchwork techniques along the way.  This was certainly given an modern update with the use of Amy Butler fabrics.  Elisha has a great nick name for this great designer… “the butt”.  I am assured that this is meant to be affectionate!

I quilted each block in turn, working with the design of the block and the fabric.  The feathered sashing and piano key border holding it altogether.  My favorite block is the spiral.  Which is yours?

This photo from the back details the quilting.

 

My brief from Elisha was not too tizzy or too closely quilted.  She was delighted with her quilt so I assume I got it right!

Happy stitching

A Bali Pops quilt to brighten up anyone’s day.

How lovely is this quilt made by Maria. Maria often uses Bali pops and jelly rolls to make her quilts. I am not sure which jelly roll book this came from. But I really like it.

It looks really modern and colourful, particularly when I was photographing it in my garden. I quilted it in a lovely pantograph pattern called Wonderland by Anne Bright. I used a lime green Aurifil cotton as the tread choice. I love my Aurifil threads.

Here is some more quilting detail and a shot of the background fabric.
