Mary used a printed center, lovely fabric and a printer border for this composition.  Making the center basket and flowers pop was accomplished with outlining and micro-stippling.

Merry Christmas

Mary bordered this clever Christmas panel.  She will make special tags with her grandchildren's names on them to complete the project.  McTavishing makes the background interesting.  Stars and Loops in the borders gives the quilt a festive feel.

Monochromatic Beige

Donna spent months collecting the fabrics for this lovely quilt.  We used Simply Clematis to give it s fresh, light look.  The ecru thread keeps the monochromatic look at lets the piecing show.

Asian Dragons

Judy made this Asian quilt for her son who lives abroad.  She used Asian fabrics  including the backing.   We used Asian Dragons in red thread to complete the total look.  

Charity

Maxine completed three more charity quilts for the Justin Project.

The first is blocks of color.  We repeated the gold from the back and used Celtic Scroll to give it some swirl.

The second is wide striped of color with animals.  We used marching elephants to make it appeal to the children.

The third quilt has a space there.  We used Stars and Loops in turquoise thread.

Connie contributed another Justin Quilts this month.

She had a cure Noah's Ark panel.  We used Interlocking surfs Up to give it the feeling of lots of water.

Jo Lee made one quilt from a printed panel.   Both back and front are a snuggly flannel.

The Q.U.I.L.T.S. SIG keeps a record of all quilts given.

He's a Star

Jody made this quilt for her 13-year old grandson.  Jody pieced in a crossword puzzle block and had his name worked into the puzzle.  We used Stars and Loops to add to the star theme.   

Diamonds and Appliqué

Brooke calls this Calendar Girls.  She machine appliquéd the twelve characters representing the months.  My favorite is February with the hearts in her skirt.  The piecing diamonds showed up as the quilting developed.  the pieced backing was fun.

Feathers

Arlene designed and machine (I had to look real close to know that!) appliquéd this quilt called "Feathers."  She did the dream catchers with yarn.  Ditching and McTavishing made her figures pop.  she used black batting so there was no chance of light batting bearding and ruining her work.

Wedding Quilt

Gretchen was recently married and made this quilt to honor the occasion.  It is English Paper pieced to make the gold compasses and the New York Beauty arcs.  The custom quilting was designed to give motion the the large areas and make the paper piecing crisp and sharp.

Musical

Jacque made this quilt for her 13-year old grandson who is very musical.  We used a modified Dave Hudson music pantograph in turquoise thread.

Poppy Quilt

Jacque made this eye-popping poppy quilt for her niece in Alaska.  She will need lots of bright colors to get through the long winter there.  We used Windy Meandering to blend in with the leaf colors and the backing and to give the quilt some contours.

Girl Quilt

Jacque made this sweet pink quilt for her 11-year old granddaughter.  She is a lively girl so we used pink variegated thread and the Bell Flower pantograph to add a little action.

Grandson

Jacque's other grandson is an athletic boy.  This quilt is over the top with its colors, so we used gold thread like the inner border.  We made lots of circles to go with the backing with Celtic Scroll.

Geckos

Gretchen pieced with bright quilt using gecko and frog fabric, so we repeated the pattern with some bright yellow geckos.
