Blueberry quilt

Anne called this her Blueberry Quilt.  We used interlocking Falling Leaves to add a special outdoor look to it ro accompany the lovely fabrics with bears, blueberries, and trees.

Jacque's Quilt

This lovely quilt came from Virginia and goes to a friend of Jacque's.  Chantilly Lace made it very feminine and comforting.

Christmas in July

Carol pieced this is a very short time to have it ready for Christmas in July at a local quilt store.  We used gold thread and Stars and Loops to make it really feel like a holiday.  they were selling kits to make quilts just like this that were a real "buy."

Carpenter's Star

Gayle took a class at a local quilt store to do this quilt.  I'd say she was a star pupil!  the pattern is Carpenter's Star but we used Springtime Flower Meander to give it even more interest.

Sport Quilt

Mary Lou's other grandson got a very similar quilt this month.  We used the sports pantograph but in gold thread to emphasize the colors on the front and to match the great basketball fabric on the back.

Alice in VA

Alice's daughter will love this quilt.  We took lots of time deciding what custom quilting it needed.  The Quilted Quail and all of Tucson debated about the purple binding.  The custom roses and leaves complemented the flowers in the fabric and finished off a lovely project.

Twin #1

Kris made two twin quilts.  They are twin sized, look alike, have Yellow Brick Roads on the back and may be for twins.  Double everything.  She did her usual beautiful job with piecing and color selection.

Twin #2

This is the second "two -fer."  You get two for the price of one.  Reversible quilts, and just like the one above.  What fun!   This quilt is intended for a little girl.

Plain and Simple

Mary's quilting bee had a challenge to make a quilt that told about what they read in a book titled "Plain and Simple."  Mary remembered the orderliness of canned vegetables lined on the shelves in the basement and the spider webs and bugs that were always there.

For Her Sister

Elaine pieced this quilt for her sister.  She pieces the quilt for her sister and they swap that for something else.  Chantilly Lace insets make the on-point blocks complete.  the backing fabric on this quilt makes it very interesting on both sides.

Sister's Roses

Donna is the local sister who made a rose quilt.  She got the kits together for the 4 sisters and they made them together.  This quilt will be even prettier when it is washed and the flowers fluff up.

Bonnie's Blue

This lovely quilt has beautiful colors and piecing, but the orange accent stars are what make it so striking.  The English garden pantograph gives it character.

Donation

This is another quilt Brooke pieced as a donation for the Quilt for a Cause auction in Tucson in November.  I have learned that she is working every month with a group of piecers who are making quilts to donate.  We used her new favorite pantograph, Windy Meandering.

Donation

This is Brooke's fourth quilt.  
We used Rambler Rose in blue thread to emphasize the roses on this fabric.   She and several others work on quilts all year to donate to Quilt for a Cause, an auction held at Tucson Medical Center in November.  Brooke is very generous! 

For Her Brother

Irma made this snuggly flannel quilt for her brother.  It shouts "man's quilt" by the color combination and the piecing.  We used Celtic Scroll in the center to give it definition.

Christmas

Judy brought the book and the quilting directions for this quilt.  She especially liked the line branches in the background.  Quilted Quail had fun with all of the blocks making up the tree.  What a lovely wall hanging!

Patriotic

This flag quilt is very patriotic and very log cabin.  The navy thread kept the red from being overpowering.  The Windy Meandering gave some contours while letting the flags speak for themselves.  Obviously, the red backing was perfect.

25th Wedding Anniversary

Barbara worked many long hours to get her 25 wedding rings pieced for the center of her quilt.  We included feathered hearts on the white fabric and hearts inset into the rings.  The pieced back is very exciting but required a muslin liner to keep the color from showing through to the top. 

Pat's Batik

This beautiful batik lives in Virginia.  Pat said she wanted something "exotic" for her batiks, so Quilted Quail used Chrissy because of the leaves and spider flowers.  The chamois-colored thread blended in beautifully.
