Madeline's Scrappy Tumblers

Madeline sewed 672 3-1/2" tumbler charm blocks together to make a gorgeous scrappy quilt to fit a twin bed. She is going to enter it in the county fair on the 20th of this month.

I am only going to share a sneak peak as it is still on the quilting frame. Let me say this...I think she is a natural on a longarm! She briefly practiced drawing swirled flowers on my plexiglass drawing board...and then went right to work quilting them on her quilt.  

Also, we did something that is probably considered taboo in the quilting arena. We used a twin sheet (100% egyptian cotton) for the backer. It cost a total of 75 cents at the local thrift store. If you could feel the quality of this sheet...you would have used it too!

She chose a variagated thread in soft seashell colors for the back. She hopes to have a quilt that looks as great from the back as the front!

Devin's Frogs in the Flowers Quilt

Devin piecing her disappearing nine patch quilt from fabrics she 'found' at a quilt shop in Las Vegas. She will enter this quilt in the local county fair at the end of August.  













Here she is quilting her finished quilt top. She is using my frog design block attached to my old QZ base and let me just say...it is looking pretty good! Pictures of the finished quilt to follow as soon as it is done and the binding is finished. ;)
