Darryl's Quilt

I have officially completed all of my brother's quilts, including this one. It's called "Chain Reaction". I quilted it differently this time. I did a little leaves and vines machine-quilting all over it in green thread. Think I will be using that pattern again. It was kinda of fun.

Richard's Quilt

I am doing a lot of quick, simple posts because I have so many projects to work on. As I complete them, I post them, lest I forget to do it at all. Here is the latest quilt I completed for one of my brothers. Just in the nick of time :)

It is called "Pinwheels on Parade". Not an original pattern. In fact, it was a kit of fabrics with the pattern. I don't usually do those, but it was a real bargain and just the perfect pattern and colors for Richard, I think.

David's Quilt

I just finished this one for my brother Dave. It is called Sea Glass.

Pieced Quilt Tops

These are ready to be sandwiched together and quilted. I spent the weekend completing them, and now I've spent a good part of today just trying to decide how to quilt them. Two are made with mostly Batik fabrics and have some vines and flowers on them, so one of them will have some vine machine quilting on it for sure. I may quilt the patriotic (pinwheels on parade in red/cream/blue) one in the ditch, using my walking foot. The other one may end up having a swirly quilting pattern on it, but still trying to figure that one out. Any ideas? I am just no good at coming up with new designs, so I usually just end up with stippling or loop-d-loops. Quick and easy and my cop-out. Hopefully I can show some finished projects later this week!

I finally got "Mocha Mix" sent off to my brother in Arizona. Whew. Only three more to send off by next week (deadline set for self).

Chain Reaction

So the one Batik that is darker blues, purples, etc. really throws my pattern off.  It reads as just a dark blue, like the background.  Bugs me like crazy, but I'm not going to change it now.  It looks better close-up, like in the picture at the top.  It had to go somewhere near a blue background though, and these fabrics were all part of the kit, so nothing I can do about it. I'm sure this one will look better once it's quilted.  This one is for my brother Darryl and wife Theresa.

Completed Mocha Mix

Washed and labeled and ready to ship to Terry in AZ.  No more brown quilts for a while :)
