Beth’s sweet quilt!

I love the soft colors of this beautiful quilt.  AND, I love that I got to quilt out one of my brand NEW designs!  Beaded Clam©️!!

Beth did an absolutely beautiful job making this quilt.  She fussy cut the hexie fabric for the sashing, and was right on with every point.   

The quilt pattern and fabric are by 3 Sisters and is the Victoria quilt...and it was one of Moda’s box kits.

I used Antique Cream 30 Tex Perma Core A&E thread, and Beth brought a 8020 cotton poly batting.  I think it was a Hobbs batt.

I sent a link to all of my new designs, on my website, to Beth and let her pick a design.  Beaded Clam was one of her choices, and I thought it would be a perfect match.  I couldn’t LOVE it more!!  Thank you, Beth, for being the first to let me quilt out one of my very own designs on a quilt.  

This is one of the options for this design, and the one I quilted on her quilt.  Here is a link to my shop to see all my designs: https://www.quiltingit.com/shop

I love love love the texture this design creates.  You may notice spots on the minky back, where the circles have a bump or notch in them...that is totally the minky pile.  If you turn the quilt over and look at the quilting on the front of the quilt, it is a perfectly quilted circle.  This design quilts out beautifully!

I love the front and back texture shown below.  My job is so fun!!!!   

Thank you for coming by!  Happy quilting!

Beth’s Patchwork Sky quilt

Beth made this stunning Patchwork Sky quilt for her son and soon to be daughter in-law.  I absolutely love the navy’s and pinks, with a touch of rose gold metallics in the fabrics.  The pattern is Patchwork Sky by Camille from Thimble Blossoms... here is the link to this pattern: http://thimbleblossoms.bigcartel.com/product/patchwork-sky-pdf-pattern

I showed Beth a couple of pantograph designs and she chose “Good Vibrations #1” by Patricia Ritter, available at https://www.urbanelementz.com/?acc=12  Which I think is such a great fit for this quilt.  I did the wavy lines 1” apart, because it is backed in a navy Cuddle (minky) from Shannon Fabrics, and too much quilting on quilts backed with minky, makes them stiff.  

Beth brought a cotton/poly blend batting.  I used a white A&E Perma Core 30 Tex thread to quilt it.  

I love this close up...you can see those beautiful rose gold metallics.

Lucky bride and groom!!

I had to share the texture on this Cuddle™️ (minky)!!!  Side note...when it comes to minky, Shannon Fabrics does it best!  They have the softest and it’s definitely more plush, the quality exceeds any other minky, they have a variety of different colors and patterns.  This particular minky is 90” wide too, which is great for those quilts that are a touch bigger than the 60” wide minky.  I tell my clients to use the 90” for the length of their quilt, if that works with the size of the quilt.  I have a great video talking about minky on my YouTube channel https://youtu.be/g2SDbAcL56g

thanks for coming by, hope you’re summer is going well!
