Sue's Batik Quilt

I had a wonderful time at the retreat and finished 5 PhD's. (Projects Half-Done) I also got started on a new yellow/black/white jelly roll quilt. There was an incredible amount of talent in that sewing room! I'm so inspired by all the beautiful projects. I don't know how many times I looked at someone's project and said, "I want to make that!"

But today, it's back to work for me and Mabel. I loaded this quilt of Sue's. I think that actually Jan made the quilt, or maybe started it and Sue finished it. Or maybe it was just Jan's fabrics. Anyway, it's quilted and I am in love with it.



I chose the new Bauhaus Baby panto and just look how well it goes with the design of the quilt. Omni Blue Ice thread and Quilter's Dream Wool batting.

Here's the back:

Fun patch


Finish #4, a Fun Patch

1600 Done


The center of this one was done. It now has lime green leopard print inner border and black and white outer border

And done


Another one done. I just added borders to this one. It's a sudoku quilt that I made to use as a demo at the Quilts For Lids in May. I used almost every bit of the nine fat quarters.  The sashing and cornerstones are the same fabric. Lots of neutrals in this room!

Done


This is the first project done. The pattern doesn't call for borders, but I may add them. 

Carolyn's Antique Tiles

Carolyn has been purchasing some quilt tops on Ebay and this is one of her recent purchases. It's really done quite well, with the exception of a few segments sewn in the wrong way.
Can you find them?

 They're all in the top row of blocks.

Baptist Fan quilting goes well with the era of the fabrics, Hobbs 80/20 batting and Omni Spearmint thread.
