Sue's 2nd Batik Quilt

I think this quilt is made using the same blocks as this one. The arrangement is just different. As I was quilting it, I thought it looked a bit jumbled. Being a graphic designer, I like everything neat and aligned, but now that it's finished and I see the whole thing, I rather like it.

I used Lava Tiki thread and love how it looks. I don't use much Lave, but a friend used some on a quilt and showed a picture on Facebook the other day. It was a light bulb moment for me as I had just loaded this quilt.

She provided the batting and the panto is Whirligig. Some more close-ups of the thread:

Sue's Modern Quilt

Sue joined a Modern Quilt Challenge at Quilt-Con. She received blocks made from others and assembled this quilt. We talked about the quilting and I suggested straight lines.

I think it turned out perfect!

I used the channel locks on my machine and didn't mark the lines, just estimated the distance between rows. That adds to the modern feel in my opinion. Some of the blocks appear to be a bit skewed and I guess I could have futzed with it a bit more, but I think it's fine and I hope she does also.

Look at this cute backing fabric she bought it at IKEA!

And the back. I always love a rather plain back with this panto.



Here's the second one that Sue G gave me. Barb T actually made these and this one is just as nice as the first one.
