My Modern Quilt

Rainbow Blocks

A new category was created in the quilt show this year and here is my quilt that I entered.

Lucky me I got awarded first place in this section.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quilts for the Show

 The West Australian Quilt Show is over for another year, I was able to make a few quilts myself to enter and I also quilted one for my friend Val.

 

Here are some pictures I took at different stages of quilting Val's quilt.

 

It sure is a Big quilt.

 

The quilting designs are from the Parisian set by Joanne Knott at The Quilters Quilter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This quilt was entered in the Two Person section and it was awarded third place :)

 

 

 

Modern Quilts

I have been lucky enough to do a bit of sewing for me and I just love how these quilts look.

Modern Cot Quilt

 

Just started with a few fabrics.

 

Just add a bit of white between the colours.

 

 

Hearts and daisies quilting design.

 

Then bind to finish.

 

 

Gypsy Rose Quilt

 

 

This quilt was made with left over fabric.

 

Decided to use a pink thread for the quilting so it would show up on the back.

 

 

Now to find enough left over fabric to do the binding.

 

I love the back as much as the front.

 

 

Modern Blocks Quilt

 

 

This quilt design was made by Anita Shackelford and I down sized the blocks to make a smaller quilt. I am getting addicted to these modern quilts.

 

Hope you can see the quilting as the light was fading.

Where I Quilt

 

Well I thought for my first post I would show you my studio where I quilt, it is not always this tidy.
