What a Relief!!

 Finally it's finished. 

As you can see, I quilted a beadboard border which meant a lot of ruler work.
The cameos are quilted in circle feathers and the sashing is a small stipple.

 I like the look of the circle feathers from the back.

 This is one of my favorite cameos,  probably because of the red print.

I took this picture before it was bound, when I first unloaded it.  I used double batting in this quilt to give a higher loft to the border.  The fabric is Joanna Figueroa's "Mill House Inn".

Strawberry Fields for Me!

I quilted the X Marks the Spot quilt this past week and then finished the binding this morning.  I loved the "Strawberry Fields" fabric collection as soon as I saw it and knew I would make a quilt for myself from it.  Any fabric from Joanna Figueroa is guaranteed to catch my eye.  The back is a green and pink floral print from the collection and the binding is the blue dot.  I quilted the center section of this quilt in an all over flower pattern and the outside border in a meandering ribbon.  This is a queen size quilt and the batting is Hobbs 80/20.

Thoroughly Modern!

 I quilted this for a customer this week.

 She got the pattern out of a magazine and the picture of the quilt showed squiggly line quilting.

That's what she wanted so that is what I did.  This was fun to quilt, just going back and forth. 
I like the bright colors, this is a very summery and modern quilt.

Completed Swoon

 It's finally finished.  I really love how this quilt turned out.

 I quilted it in a continuous swirl pattern with white cotton thread on front and back.  The back is a sheet from Ikea and the batting is Hobbs 80/20.

I just love looking at it!
