Pam's Zippy Strippy Quilts

These two 1600 quilts were made by Pam also.

The first one has a thin flannel as batting. I believe it's going to Arizona, so she didn't want it real heavy. Also, she had started quilting a meander on her machine, in the center, of course, and it was about a quarter done. I loaded it and then started quilting at the top edge of her quilting and worked my way up to the top edge. Then advanced it to the bottom of her quilting and continued to the bottom.

 

I love the black squares she put between the strips!

This one has Hobbs 80/20 batting and I quilted it with Flower Child by Apricot Moon Designs. I think it's perfect for the fabrics.

Julie's Minkee

My daughter, Julie, bought a kit at the Cuddle Corner in Shipshewana in October and made this quilt for her soon-to-be daughter-in-law, Kendra. Se took her Serger with her to the retreat and that's how she sewed the strips together. It worked so well that I used that same idea to make Calise's.

I don't think I got a photo of the whole quilt, but you can see by these pics that it is just beautiful!

I quilted it with the new Flower Child panto, lite spearmint Omni thread and
Hobbs 80/20 batting.

Then she bought more minkee to make one for Tony, so they could each have one. His is browns and blacks, and very soft. Black Permacore thread and Hobbs 80/20 batting. Adding batting th these makes them quite heavy, but oh-so soft.

 Square Spiral panto on his.

Playing Catch-Up

I can't believe how long it's been since I posted. 6 Weeks to be exact. Yikes! I'm going to schedule some posts to finish out the year.

This quilt was on my sidebar for a long time. It was made by Virginia and It's just cute as can be. It's a Disappearing 9-patch and she used a layer cake, I think.

I quilted it with a new-to-me panto called Flower Child, by Apricot Moon Designs. 

I really had to pay attention to the coming in and going out of the flowers because if my mind was wandering, I could mess up really easy. I actually did that about 12" from the very end when I was doing just a half row.

I used light pink Omni thread and Hobbs 80/20 batting.
This will be one of my favorite pantos, I can tell.

 Here's the back, which is a flannel.
Cute, cute quilt!

Carla's 1600

Carla made this beautiful 1600 quilt. The black and white chevron border is wonderful!

I quilted it with a new-to-me panto called Flower Child. Glide white thread with Magna-glide bobbins add a bit of sheen to the quilt. Hobbs 80/20 batting.

 I think it turned out great! Take a look at the back!
