What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Amy made this sweet little quilt for her second great niece who will be arriving soon.  She used the Raspberry Kiss tutorial from Wooden Spoon Quilts.

Amy chose the Wildflower pantograph which compliments her border fabric perfectly.

Susan brought me two lovely quilts made from Missouri Star's Tea Cup quilt pattern.  This first one is in a lovely collection of fabric called "A Day at the Lake" by Wilmington Prints.  Susan left the pantograph selection up to me and I thought "Bora Bora" looked like the breeze blowing in off the lake.  This one is destined to live on a bed in her cottage and it couldn't be more perfect.

 

Amy said the fabric was a pretty Fat Quarter bundle she picked up at Fabriculous, that had been sitting on a shelf tied with a pretty ribbon awhile.  She added a pretty purple linen for the outer border.  Amy was hoping I would have a backing that would work, and my last piece of this beige and caramel Stonehenge was the perfect size ...

The fresh and pretty quilt was brought to me by Reneta.  She participated in a block swap on Instagram a few years back.  Participants made large log cabin blocks in fabrics designed by Bonnie and Camille. 

Once you received your blcoks the layout was up to you and Reneta decided on this on point layout which was worth the extra work.

Reneta chose the Wildflower pantograph which finishes if off just right.

And I had to try to get one of my flowering crab trees in a photo. The blossoms looks so beautiful for such a short time! 

Reneta has been committed to sewing through her stash for the past few years.  She has mostly been making an amazing variety of scrap quilts with 2" squares - see here, and here and here for examples!  She had this panel and some coordinating yardage lying around and decided it was time to put it together in a top.

Reneta selected one of the first pantographs I had ever purchased called Wildflower.  I think it adds just the right amount of quilting and is a bit of a classic like these fabrics!
