Sherry’s Prim Quilt

Hello…
I hope that you had a great week!! We are finishing up our week in Bear Lake Utah. It’s my favorite place to go for a little getaway.

Sherry made this amazing Prim quilt, as part of a sew along with Lori Holt. Made using Lori’s quilt pattern and fabrics.

I quilted this entire quilt free motion. Lines and curves with rulers, but the rest freehand.

I did ribbon candy quilting in all the sashing. Which I also added to the border rectangular blocks.

When I quilted the backgrounds in each of the blocks, I chose 3 designs one in each block…because there are 3 blocks per row. Then I alternated them from row to row. It helps the designs flow throughout the quilt.

I did my overlapping circles, circles with swirls in some of them, and a petal design.

I also did light custom quilting on the appliqué pieces, trying to just enhance the shape with quilting texture.

I used Linda from The Quilted Pineapple 8” and 16” Edge rulers to quilt all the straight lines. In the rectangular border blocks, I quilted ribbon candy in the first border, crisscross lines in the middle border, and 1/2” lines in the center strips. I then quilted arcs in the red squares with a petal coming from each of the corners. I also did the same thing in all of the gray squares in the sashing.

I love how these corner star blocks turned out!!! I used my 3” Circle2™ ruler to quilt the curves, as well as some of curves in the appliqué.

I just love all the quilting textures in this quilt. I used Winline’s 8020 cotton poly blend batting, and a cream Omni thread from Superior Threads.

This is my 3” Circle2™ ruler. It comes in a set of 6 in my shop. There are 12 sizes of circles ranging from 2”-13”. As you can see the 3” circle has a 9” outer circle, so there are two sizes of circles per ruler. It is such a versatile circle ruler set!!
