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.

Square Spiral panto, black Permacore thread and Black Hobbs 80/20 batting.

Carla's 1600 Quilt

Carla was a guest at our guild meeting a couple weeks ago and she helped Mona with her quilt. Then she went home and cut some childrens novelty fabrics and made a 1600 Zippy Strippy quilt. She wanted something fast and easy as she is donating this quilt very soon.



I quilted it with Angel Wings panto because the border fabric has butterflies. Hobbs 80/20 batting and Omni Pearl White thread.

Just look at all these cute fabrics. It's going to make some youngster very happy.

My Retreat Projects

I started working on a very old mystery quilt from Becca's blog.

I cheated!, there, I said it! I looked at the last clue. I decided that I didn't really care for it in the fabrics I had started with. When I pulled the pieces out of the tote, Janet asked if it was a Chinese Coins quilt and that got me thinking about it. I spent WAY TOO LONG figuring out how to make it look random. But, I love the outcome!



Then I pulled out these lotto blocks that I won at Spring Break at Mardi Gras. I added green sashing, setting triangles and a couple borders. I may quilt this one and donate it to the guild auction next year. Or I may decide I want to keep it.



Saturday afternoon I worked on my Zippy Strippy quilt, which still needs borders.



I also put together four 10-minute blocks. I picked up a few fat quarters from the boat at Lolly's to make some more.
