What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Madison brought this batik jelly roll quilt.  The pattern is called "Easy Bargello" by Busy Hands Quilts.

Madison selected the Raindrops pantograph and a dark grey thread.  I love the cozy Fireside backing that completed this quilt.

Val brought this pretty quilt that featured some batiks and some Asian prints.  She selected the Ginseng pantograph and a shiny blue thread.

Reneta made this "Flying Tiger" quilt as pattern tester for Art East Quilting Company's new spring releases.  When Reneta first showed me the pattern and we got talking about colors and quilting ideas, the idea to lean in the to "2022 is the year of the Tiger" inspired everything else.  

I love the rich red background fabric and I immediately wanted to quilt with my favorite shiny gold Magnifico thread and Reneta agreed. 

 

The pantograph is called Ginseng and it added just the right amount of quilting.  It gave the background kind of a brocade feel.

Susan made this quilt in a class a number of years ago.  The rich Asian inspired fabrics has a lot of gold accents, so as soon as I saw it I knew what my first quilting suggestion would be.  I did send Susan a few options, but she was totally on board with the Ginseng pantograph and shiny Magnifico thread in my favorite gold - 2063 - Clover Honey.
