My first quilt on my new Gammill

Another Square in a Square

This is the second one of these that I've done. She had me do Baptist Fans on the first one. It looks very traditional and she liked it. But this one she wanted it to be "sweet". I used Hermione Agee's Alfresco panto.

The fabrics she used were all 30 reproductions. The borders and back were 30's green. I toyed with the idea of using a pale yellow but she wanted white. I used a chain stencil in the border and every little bloop shows. I minimized my stops and starts which means that I had to trun the quilt to give SID and that border a chance to not look awful. I quilted and frogged the border several times. The field came out nice but I was not happy with the border.

Animals are loose

This quilt is called Baby's Safari by www.abcpatterns.com. I used three different shades of turquoise on this quilt. The pale turquoise was used for the background quilting in the body of the quilt. I used a dark turq in the border and a medium in the bobbin. The borders and backing was a swirl print fabric so I took my queue from that and did swirls with stars background fill.





This the second one of these animal applique quilts that I have done. This one is for a boy.
