Two Together Quilted

After appliquing the star, I echo-quilted around it a few times. Found just the right button for the center from Grammar Tean's stash.

Star Block& Nine Patch

The new quilt will have these two blocks, set 5 x 5,then a couple of borders.  Planning to quilt each block at a time.  The 9-patch I will quilt in ditch of large 9 patch with narrow zigzag.  Also going to applique the star with same narrow zigzag through batting and backing
Not sure that will be enough quilting for the Star block. Comments?  Suggestions?

Table Topper: pattern and fabric by Pearl Louise

Picked this up in Rapid City. Had it all sewn together but couldn't quilt it on my little machine.

Gail's Sampler - Center Section Complete

It's difficult to get a picture of rthe whole quilt. It still needs borders... maybe something called Prairie Braid. And I may turn it into a duvet cover so I don't have to actually quilt it.

Twisting Pinwheels

Fun pattern we picked up last week.


Possible Quilting Design

My idea is to emphasize the part of the design that looks like giant interlocking rick rack and do it by using curvy lines that can be stitched continuously.  Posted from my phone!!


possible quilting patterns


this has two "loops" in the rectangle piece


this has ONE loop in the rectangle pice which i think i might like more its simplicity vs the above one
