My Quilts for Show

 These are the quilts I entered recently in a local quilt show:

I designed, pieced and quilted all the quilts.

This first one took me 4 months from design through the last stitch.  It goes on the guest bed.  It uses the Country Crown block which I modified in several places to create areas for hand guided free motion quilting.

That was my first ever scallop border on a quilt. I'd done them on window treatments but never a quilt. I admit it is a single fold binding. I just couldn't get a double fold to lay right.  I added a tiny microwelt to the edge as well.

This was entered in the modern category. The colors are a lot bolder in the photo than in real life. I used the Twisted Log cabin and foundation pieced it.  I stitched in the ditch to quilt with monofilament thread.  Not my favorite thing.

The quilt below is a block pattern I designed.  I used sashing design from EQ8 software.

That last photo got distorted somehow but you get the idea.
