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.

Angie's Zippy Strippy

Angie made this quilt for her son and it so reminds us of 1980's video games. It's a 1600, zippy strippy quilt and she added colored squares in between each of the black strips. It's interesting how they are all clumped together. I wonder if she mixed up the colored squares or added all the same color before moving on to the next.

Marla's 1600 Quilt

Here's another beautiful quilt for my niece, Marla, a fairly new quilter.

This pattern is just the right one for a new quilter. Marla will be at quilt camp next week and I'm excited to see what she will stay up almost all night to do this year.

Because of all the calicos in this one, I chose Hearts n Roses panto. Hobbs 80/20 batting, and Omni Khaki thread looks great on the light and the dark fabrics.

Great job Marla!

Another 1600 Quilt for Joann

Joann made another 1600 quilt and this one is for a grandson who is graduating, I believe. Her borders made this one quite large and it sure is pretty.

She chose Stars and Loops panto because some of the fabrics have stars. I always like to do this one as it's pretty mindless for me. Sometimes I wonder if I could do it with my eyes closed. Maybe I'll try it someday on one of my quilts.
