Quilting In Progress...

Today's quilting in progress is this awesome flannel with fabric from Moda.
This client didn't want heavy quilting so we are going a wonky square grid that will look similar to....   
On a 3" scale since her piecing is at 3" increments.  The wonky lines will be in the middle of the pieces, not in the seams.
Still when doing simple design,  there is work to be done to make sure the outcome is great.
See all the little yellow dots.  Those are my targets.  I am not trying to be spot on but do want to keep the 3" grid as much as possible.

The finished quilt is great, especially for something manly with light quilting.  It is one of my favorites.



So, let's GO! Quilting....

Quilting In Progress...

Look at this cutie...
A sweet baby quilt made by Amber.
Thanks Amber for letting me finish this for you!

Quilting In Progress...

It's been a little while since I posted a QIP.  I have been working on a top secret quilt for a Relay for Life Event.  It was top secrecy because the Fairview Quilting Church worked so hard on this project in honor of our friends Paula and Joe.  We wanted it to be a surprise for Paula.
Well... Here it is...
The pattern is my very own design of Star Burst with an added addition of the awareness ribbon.  The ribbon is an AccuQuilt die and can be made into any awareness ribbon color.
Hope you enjoy...
