It has been too hot to work
outside so I have spent several days quilting and it feels great to
have 2 finishes. First, the “Ribbons and Pinwheels” is finished
and ready to be gifted.
It began as I was sent a photo of a quilt
from Pinterest and asked if I could make one like it. I found the
free ribbon (bow) block and used EQ to plan the alternate pinwheel blocks
and the rest of the quilt. Almost all of the fabric came from my
stash.
I quilted a FM meander in the center
and swirls in the outer border. I think it turned out lovely for a
little girl.
Second finish is a comfort quilt
for church. I adapted the “It's A Snap” pattern from Fabric Cafe
to use a little more than 3 yards of fabric for a little larger quilt
to finish at 48 by 66”.
I quilted a FM meander in portions and a
dot to dot motif in the dark green blocks. I quilted FM swirls in
the border. Another member will sew on the binding.
