Hello,
happy weekend!! This is one of the last quilts I quilted before Christmas…I’m slowly catching up. I’ll get there. I was planning to do a big blog post with all the quilts, like I’ve done before, however I had some requests to do them individually.

This quilt is a big one!! Made by Shelley. I’m guessing the squares are 6”. There is no official pattern for this one. The darkest fabric goes every other one with the lighter blue fabric, as well as the white fabric goes every other one with the lighter blue fabric. It’s an awesome easy guys quilt!

This one is extra cozy with minky on the backing. Minky makes the quilting pop!!

Shelley chose my On Point©️ design for the quilting. It can be difficult sometimes to line up this design because quilts shrink as they are quilted. I came across a brilliant solution!!! I used this method on another quilt I did recently and it work out beautifully. I recorded a bunch of videos and put them in my Instagram stories, to walk you through the process. If you click here: https://instagram.com/leishakaye it should take you to my profile and the click on the Crosshatch highlight bubble. Or let’s see maybe this link will work: https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3ODg2NDE1Nzk2MDA0Njg4?igshid=ooym1zedlbxf&story_media_id=2522927156319547382

On Point©️ is one of this week’s designs!! Hopscotch©️ is the other. They are available in my shop 20% off, no code necessary.

I used my favorite 8020 cotton poly blend batting from Winline and Omni natural white thread from Superior Threads.

Here is a look at that minky backing. I didn’t have a lot of the navy minky pull through the white fabric, it helps to have the nap of the minky going down when you pin it onto the canvases. I will say however, when I quilt swirly designs it comes up more. It’s kind of out of our hands as quilters. So, I always leave it up to my clients. They know that if they choose a darker minky, that it’s possible for the fibers to pull up through the lighter fabrics in the quilt top.
