JoAnn's Tessellating Quilt

I'm not sure of the name of this one, but I believe it's a tessellating pattern.

She asked for an edge-to-edge and I chose Whirlygig. Dan thought it should have something with leaves, but I usually only put leaves on fall-ish quilts. I used Omni light tan thread and Hobbs 80/20 batting.

Hope she likes it!

Joann's Placemats

Joann made these 6 Twister placemats for her daughter's wedding next spring. They will be used on the head table. What a novel idea!

The orange piping she added really looks great.
Here's a closer look:

I used Permacore Yellow and Dyed natural thread and a batting she brought.

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.

Joann's Quilt for her Daughter

Joann made this queen size quilt for her daughter and wanted it done for Christmas. She wanted a design in each block and stitch-in-the-ditch around the blocks.



I chose a Chantilly Lace block design and a Pam Clarke design from her Design With Lines book. It's a great book with lots of ideas. I copied the pattern and then printed out 7 copies of it so I could have them laying on my table. I just lined up the outer edges of the block and the center and quilted like a pantograph. Of course I had to start and stop in each block, but it still went pretty quickly.
